Menu Plan Monday



Good Morning!
I awoke yesterday at 3 a.m. and was able to do my meal plan.
Yet I still did not get the post up with all the many task in the garden and coop to tend.
I gifted the family and myself with a new cook book. Normally I just use old tried and true recipes or old books for ideas. I wanted some fresh ideas and I enjoy her methods and humor.
It was found by chance at a discount store, I listened when my heart jumped.

The big board is back.
Life this year has been a real ride with packing up the estate to sell and now moving it all back in. It really is surprising though how satisfying it is to redo the home just for us. Not for show, not for pleasing others or just filling in as things become acquired, but as I would like them.
I have added tasks list to the big board.
click on the image and it will enlarge.
I will have a challenging next few days for I have my last set of injections in my knees today after Bible study.
I was not able to get to the grocery so yesterday was not prepared.
It was a cereal fair.
Best laid plans...:)
I spent the whole of the day tending tasks in the garden and laundry and picking up the house. Driving up to Scottsdale to get a prescription at the apothecary shop.
Once the kids got home I was exhausted and fell asleep!
Dove washed Rena while a nap over came me.
Rena the golden rolled in the grass where I had mucked from the chicken tractor. Dove is really showing initiative. Yesterday morning I found the bird feeder filled by her. Never though does she say "look what I did".. It is always silent and thoughtful. She is a lot like her Daddy in that.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
