No JOY 'til January

Since our next two meetings are so close to the holidays, and because of all the snow and cold weather, I've decided that our next meeting won't be until the last Tuesday in January. That means that there won't be a meeting tonight either. If you have any questions or need anything feel free to contact me. God Bless!

Are your spices old and outdated?

With thanksgiving coming up I thought you all might find this site interesting. This website allows you to check the date and freshness of your McCormick brand spices. There is also a lot of useful information about using spices and keeping them fresh.

Have fun!

Pray for me and my family

As we head out tomorrow to be with my family and attend the memorial service for my grandmother who passed away unexpectedly on wednesday morning. I am heartbroken and really need God's help to get through this time. Thank you all!

God Bless

Wordless Wednesday - Because it's all we have left

Matthew 5:45
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Tasty Tuesday - Recipe For a Happy Life

Today is a highly emotionally charged day. I urge you not to over-indulge just because your emotions tell you to. If you feel the need to eat just to calm your nerves then just go fast and pray. It is better to fast than to over eat and suffer from the guilt of it later. No matter the outcome of the elections, no matter the decisions that are made tonight, there is only one fact that remains: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is the one true God and the only king and ruler we will ever need to rely on. Put your faith and confidence in God, not man.

Recipe For a Happy Life

Take a couple of whole months, clean them thoroughly of all Bitterness, Rumors, Hate and Jealousy; in other words, make them as fresh and as clean as possible.

Now cut each month into 28, 30 or 31 different parts...

But don't make up the whole batch at once..
Instead prepare it One Day At A Time.

Mix well each day:

One part of Faith,
One of Patience,
One of Courage,
One of Work,

Add one part each of:

Hope,
Faithfulness,
Generosity,
Kindness;

Blend with:

One part Prayer,
One part Meditation.
Good Deeds.

Season the whole with:

a dash of Good Spirit,
a sprinkle of Fun,
a pinch of Play
a cupful of Good Humor.

Pour all of this into a Vessel Of Love,

Cook thoroughly over Radiant Joy

Garnish with Smiles and serve with Quietness, Unselfishness and Cheerfulness

And you are bound to have a Happy Life.
