Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
Apples of Gold Week 2 took place this week! (In case you missed it, you can find out what this cooking ministry is and check out the first week here.)
Oh my goodness, we’re having such a great time together! This group of women really want to learn and they have such sweet spirits! For this round of AOG, I decided to focus on a different type of bread each week. This week we rolled out BISCUITS!! Continue reading “Three-Ingredient Buttermilk Biscuits”
This has been a week full of little blessings. God is always at work, but sadly I miss it too often. Here are some of my favorite refreshments!
2. My favorite new trick:
This rose napkin fold! Put a FORK (yes, a fork!) in the middle of a napkin that is spread out on the table. Put the fold between the tines of the fork and then start to turn the fork slowly. Voila! A rose will appear!! I popped the center of the rose up a bit to mimic a real flower. I put it on the plate, but it would be pretty in a cup, too! Continue reading “Friday Favorites”
For all of us who know Christ as our Savior, we not only experienced saving grace (that which we do not deserve), we also experience God’s grace every single day. Every good gift that we enjoy is a grace gift from His loving hands –
Health – the ability to see, eat, walk, breathe on our own!
Material possessions – a home, a car, clothes, money in the bank, groceries in the cupboard.
Relationships – Marriage, children, grandchildren, friendships.
Spiritual blessings – God’s Word, a church, fellowship, answered prayer.
We could go on and on listing all God’s grace blessings to us, but I want us to think about how we can give grace to our spouse in order to put the Gospel on display to a watching world.
Let’s consider a few scenarios:
She doesn’t mind eating at a table without all the silverware, a place mat or a centerpiece, but because she wants her husband to know she was anxious for their supper meal together, she sets the table before they eat.
Grace.
If there is a ministry I LOVE, it is Apples of Gold. If you’re not familiar with it, let me explain with a short description:
It is a cooking/mentoring ministry based on Titus 2.
This ministry allows me to do what I love (cook and bake) where I love (in my kitchen) and to people I love (younger women).
Each session of Apples of Gold (AOG) lasts six weeks, meeting for three hours once a week. Continue reading “Using a Kitchen For the Glory of God”
One day this week I found myself sitting barefoot on the front porch beside one of my grandsons. We were “painting” on the pavement with sponge brushes and a bowl of water. Seated under the shade of the porch’s covering, we were enjoying the beauty of Continue reading “Summertime Blessings”
