"That" Woman... my inspiration

Who can find a virtuous wife?

For her worth is far above rubies.

The heart of her husband safely trusts her;

So he will have no lack of gain.

She does him good and not evil

All the days of her life

she seeks wool and flax,

And willingly works with her hands.

She is like the merchant ships,

She brings her food from afar.

She also rises while it is yet night,

And provides food for her household,

And a portion for her maidservants.

She considers a field and buys it;

From her profits she plants a vineyard.

She girds herself with strength,

And strengthens her arms.

She perceives that her merchandise is good,

And her lamp does not go out by night.

she stretches out her hands to the distaff,

And her hand holds the spindle.

She extends her hand to the poor

Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

she is not afraid of snow for her household,

For all her household is clothed with scarlet.

She makes tapestry for herself;

Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

Her husband is known in the gates,

When he sits among the elders of the land.

She makes linen garments and sells them,

And supplies sashes for the merchants.

Strength and honor are her clothing;

She shall rejoice in time to come.

She opens her mouth with wisdom,

And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

She watches over the ways of her household,

And does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children rise up and call her blessed;

Her husband also, and he praises her:

"Many daughters have done well,

But you excel them all."

Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,

But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

Give her of the fruit of her hands,

And let her own works praise her in the gates.

Proverbs 31:10-31

No one said it would be easy . . .

Wow, talking about the Lord giving me what I need when I need it - here is today's devotional from the book, Streams in the Desert compiled by Mrs. Charles E Cowman.
 
December 21
 
To him I give the land he hath trodden upon . . . because he hath wholly followed the Lord (Deut. 1:36).
 
Every hard duty that lies in your path, that you would rather not do, that it will cost you pain and struggle or sore effort to do, has a blessing in it.  Not to do it, at whatever cost, is to miss the blessing.
 
Every hard piece of road on which you see the Master's shoe-prints and along which He bids you follow Him, surely leads to blessing, which you cannot get if you cannot go over the steep, thorny path.
 
Every point of battle to which you come, where you must draw your sword and fight the enemy, has a possible victory which will prove a rich blessing to your life.  Every heavy load that you are called to lift hides in itself some strange secret of strength.  ~J. R. Miller
 
I cannot do it alone;
The waves run fast and high,
And the fogs close all around,
The light goes out in the sky;
But I know that we two
Shall win in the end,
Jesus and I.
 
Coward and wayward and weak,
I change with the changing sky;
Today so eager and bright,
Tomorrow too weak to try;
But He never gives in,
So we two shall win,
Jesus and I.
 
I could not guide it myself,
My boat on life's wild sea;
There's One who sits by my side,
Who pulls and steers with me.
And I know that we two
Shall safe enter port,
Jesus and I.

Happy Thanksgiving!

"Enter into His gates with Thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.  Be thankful to Him, and bless His name."
  Psalm 100:4

I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.  I am truly blessed and have much to be thankful for, not only today, but every day.

May we all remember to praise the Lord for all the blessings He has given to us.

Rainbow Jello


Pretty 12 Layer Salad

  • Jello (3 oz) pkgs, Strawberry, Orange, Lemon, Lime, Berry Blue, Grape
  • 16 oz Sour Cream or Plain Yogurt

If making jello in a tube pan to flip out onto a serving plate, lightly grease tube pan.

Add 1 C. boiling water to Strawberry Jello, stir until dissolved.  Pour 1/2 of the jello into a small bowl and set aside.  Add 3 Tbs. cold water to remaining jello and pour into greased pan.  Chill 15 - 20 minutes or until firm.  Whisk 1/3 C. sour cream or plain yogurt into reserved jello, pour on top of first jello layer.  Chill until firm.  Repeat the same with each jello in order given.  This is always a winner with children.

If desired, you can just make it in a 9 x 9 pan and not flip it out onto a serving plate.  In this case, do the layers in reverse order, starting with the Grape Jello sour cream layer and end with the plain Strawberry layer.
