Christian Homemaking:Not Much Changes here in our Home. We are Homeschooling again.We are still working hard on getting out of Debt. We are still working on keeping our home clean and clutter free. We still take care of our Pets. We are still trying to cut our budget down and still have some extra's like Healthier Food and Not Processed Foods. We are couponing more to save our Family even more money. We do not live like Extreme Couponers !We are just simply trying to save our Family Money by using Coupons on the items that our Family uses only. There are not many coupons for Gluten Free Foods and Gluten Free Items. I do however still try to use coupons when I can on Meats and Dairy and Vegetables and Fruit. However most of the Coupons we use are on our Household Goods, Pet Goods, and Health and Beauty Goods.

Psalm 48:1-2 King James Version
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God,in the mountain of his holiness.
Beautiful for situation,the joy of the whole earth,is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

Bible Verses I want to share with you all

2009-08-28T19:54:00.003-04:00

Mark 8:35(NIV) For whoever wants to save his life will loose it; but whoever looses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.

Mark 8:35(KJV) For whoever will save his life shall loose it; but whosoever shall loose his life for my sake and for the gospel's, the same shall save it.

Proverbs 1:7(NIV) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Proverbs 1:7(KJV) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instructions.

Bible Verses I was reading during my devotional time

2009-06-23T19:19:00.003-04:00

HAGGAI 1:6(KJV)
Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag of holes.

HAGGAI 1:9(KJV)
Ye looked for much, and lo, it cam to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.

Contrast
Israel-Israelites(Old Testament)
America-Americans(Now)
Even Christians in America are living for Money(Worldly Riches)
While God's House is being forgotten and left in Ruins.
It is time(past time) for God's children to get on our knees, cry out to God ask for his forgiveness and truly turn back to God and leave the wicked sinful life behind.
Get back in God's House and Restore God's House only then will we truly Prosper.
When we are truly doing the Lord's Will and Work then we will truly Grow and Prosper in the Lord.

How do you and your family Celebrate Christmas

2008-12-17T13:16:00.003-05:00

How do you and your family Celebrate Christmas?
My Family and I celebrate Christmas with Family and Friends.
But more importantly we Celebrate Jesus who came to this world born in a Stable to save us from our Sins.
We do not buy gifts for our Children and tell them it is from Santa.
We read the Story of Jesus' Birth from the Book of Luke Chpt. 2 in the Bible.
We pray and then we open up gifts from each other.
This year I would like to also add Happy Birthday Jesus Party to our List of ways we Celebrate Christmas.
So How Do You All Celebrate Christmas with you and your family?

The silver is mine and the gold is mine declares the Lord Almighty.~Haggai 2:8

2)Through Jesus my needs can be abundantly met.
My God shall supply all my need according to his riches-in glory by Christ Jesus~Phillippians 4:!9

THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD

2008-04-10T10:47:00.003-04:00

The Wonderful Names of our Wonderful Lord by: Hurlburt and Horton
THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the World. 1 John 4:14
A lost and ruined world,bound by the shackles of sin; dominated by the demon Satan, helpless and hopeless! What can be done? Only God, the Sovereign against whom the world has sinned,can solve the question as He has. He sent His Son. We have seen Him by faith and testify to the truth that He is indeed a Savior. He has saved us through faith in His Name and finished work. We must testify. We must bear witness. Wherever we go,whatever we do,let us tell it out-"He is a world Savior." Lord,may we be faithful witnesses to Thy saving power and tell the love story to all. Amen.

A Man of Sorrows

2008-03-25T08:32:00.003-04:00

The Wonderful Names of our Wonderful Lord by Hurlburt and Horton
The Christian Library
A Man of Sorrows
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Isaiah 53:3

He who was the source of all joy, the giver of all peace, He before whom angels and archangels bow in adoration, is also called a "Man of Sorrows." Grief broke his Heart, crushed out His Life. Shall we through disobedience, rebellion, or lack of love or service, or worship, add to the sorrows which He bore, or shall we murmur if we, too, shall be permitted to partake of His sorrows, or to share His grief? He sorrowed all alone, save perhaps as angels ministered to Him in Gethsemane's deep shadow. But He shares thy grief, He carried all thy sorrow and comforts those who trust in Him. Shall we not worship and adore the Man of Sorrows?

Faithful and True

2008-03-07T16:26:00.003-05:00

The Wonderful Names of our Wonderful Lord Hurlburt and Horton The Christian Library
Faithful and True
And He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True.
Revelation 19:11

To no one else could that title be applied but the Lord Jesus, who was Himself the Way,the Truth,and the Life. He was faithful to the truth always and faithful in its application,whether in promises of blessings or cursing.Listen to the precious promise, "I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am, there ye may be also." But the other is equally true,"Depart from me ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth."There is no change in the Written Word. Lord,We believe in Thee and in Thy Word.May we never depart from it. Keep us faithful and true to Thee until the long expected call comes and we shall be taken up to be with Thee forever. Amen.

Working Happily in our Homes...

2007-05-01T20:01:00.000-04:00

Working Happily in our Homes:
Titus 2:4-5(KJV) Titus 2:4-5 is talking about Older Women being Mentors to Younger Women Teaching them to Be Keepers of their own Homes and be Happy about Keeping the Home.
That they may teach the young women to be sober(not drunk), to love their husbands(own husband), to love their children(own children).
To be discreet,chaste,keepers at home,(Staying Home and Taking Care of their Own Family,as well as their own Home)(Not busy visiting others while there Family and Home Suffers)good,obedient(submissive to their own Husbands)to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed(Do not Take God's Word by Prayer,Daily Devotionals,Talking about God with your family for Granted nor Talk with a Trashy Mouth or Take God's Name in Vain).
Daily I must submitt to God first and formost then to my Beloved Husband .
When I have my Daily Time with God my home ,family and I are all so much Happier.
I notice that I do so much better spending time with God daily then when I put him last.
God should always be first and then everything else goes so much better for my family and I.
So when I submitt daily to God by Spending time with God in Prayer ,Daily Devotionals and Giving totally myself to him daily I am better for it and I work more Happily at Home.

My Favorite Bible Verses

2006-09-07T17:26:00.001-04:00

My Favorite Bible Verses from the Book of Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 11 and 12 KJV(KingJamesVersion) verse 11 says The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,so that he shall have no need of spoil. This verse to me means that The Proverbs 31 Wife & Mother is fullfilling the Role and Ministry God has called her to do. To me this verse also means that her husband can trust her to do the best things and the right things for her Family because he knows that she is going to do what is best and what God has lead her to do as well as be Submissive to her own husband. Verse 12 says She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. This verse to me means she seeks to Honor Him and Respect him . She seeks to be the Best Wife she can be, She seeks to be Submissive to Her Own Husband. She seeks to Help Him in all areas of the Home she is a Good Home Manager. She is thrifty,She shops for good things and not bad things that would harm her and her family.

JOY(Jesus Others then You) that is what JOY means in my Life.

Bible Verse's that help me out and encourage me..

2006-09-07T17:21:00.000-04:00

BibleVerse's that help me out and encourage me.. All the Bible Verses that Help me out and encourage me are going to be out of the King James Version. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me,My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. These verses really minister to me at this time in my life. Another Bible Verses that Minister to Me as well as my DearHusband and Child is out of the Book of Galatians Chapter 6 verses 9 and 10. Galatians 6:9-10 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore oportunity,let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Well that is all of them at this time. I will ask God to lay more verses that minister to my Family and I on my heart and list them later on in another post. What Bible Verses help you out and are an encouragement to you and and your Family?

Viewing what God has Called me to Do as a Blessing and Not a Burden.

2006-09-07T17:15:00.000-04:00

Viewing what God has Called me to Do as a Blessing and Not a Burden. I am a Stay at Home Wife first. I am also a Stay at Home Momma. I am also a Stay at Home Homemaker and HomeschoolTeacher. I often times find myself very discouraged and not wanting to be home taking care of our home , and my Family. The reason I often times find myself so discouraged and not wanting to take care of my Family and Home is because I leave God out of the Picture until the End of the Day. God should be the first in my Life not the Last and he should not get the Leftovers he should get the First Fruits of all I do. Then I can serve my Beloved Darling Husband and DarlingDaughter and other Family Members with True Happiness and Cheer and Sweet Attitude and a Sweet Manner. My Husband,Daughter and the Rest of My Family Deserves to have Me in a Good Happy Mood so they in Return will be in a Good Happy Mood. I have found that when I don't Give God the First Fruits of all I do Everyone Suffers Especially Me. I will choose to be Up Early to Give God all my First Fruits from Now on. I will Choose Peace, Joy, Cheery Attitude , Actions and Manners, I will choose True Happiness . I will choose Contentment and Most of all I will be in God's Will for my life as well as the Life of my Family.

Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute before removing from the cookie sheets. For altitudes above 3500 feet, add 1/4 cup flour to dry cake mix.
