The Weaver

Here is a poem that really speaks to my heart. I thought it would be great to share it here for others to enjoy. I wish I knew who to give the credit to, but the Auther is unknown.
Praying it blesses you as much as it does me!

My life is but a weaving
Between the Lord and me;
I may not choose the colors–
He knows what they should be.

For He can view the pattern
Upon the upper side
While I can see it only
On this, the under side.

Sometimes He weaves in sorrow,
Which seems so strange to me;
But I will trust His judgment
And work on faithfully. read more

Emotional Days

We had a good day, although it was an emotional and busy one. It started out with the girls (granddaughters) going to their first counseling appointment. This is something that they have needed to have in place for about 6 months, but just wasn’t possible until recently.

I am very blessed to have found a wonderful woman that the girls instantly “clicked” with. I must admit that I wasn’t prepared for the reaction that I saw in the youngest granddaughter, Natalie. I knew that Angela was going to find it easy to talk with a counselor, and I thought that Natalie would just follow along. However, what I saw today after our initial “meet and greet” with the counselor was a little girl who was all of sudden faced with the fact that she might have to deal with some of the feelings that she has been burying down deep. Because of her age, she doesn’t know how to verbally express that, so instead, those emotions and fears come out in her behavior. She has always been the happy child, that is always smiling and doesn’t let you know that she is upset by anything. However, what I saw today after our counseling appointment was a little girl that was crying at the drop of a hat and being extremely combative . She is hurt, mad and confused. It breaks my heart to watch them go through this, and all I can do is love on them and pray. read more

Purblack Shilajit

[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]

When I first heard about this Pur black Shilajit and all the benefits that it had, I have to admit, I was slightly skeptical. My thought process was, I am willing to give it a try and let’s see if it would help with my husband’s pain in his knees. What I have found is that it not only has helped his pain in his knees, but an extra added huge benefit for my daughter. which I tell you about below. The Pur Black Shilajit is a genuine and live resin, as opposed to some products that are in a powder form. read more

Bowling Fun for Free!!

bowlingI have been looking for things to keep the granddaughters busy this summer and I found this great program that is being offered to kids under the age of 15. Your kids can bowl 2 FREE games , 5 days of the week at a bunch of different bowling alleys around the United States. I am in Tennessee, and signed up the girls in literally less than 5 minutes. Right after I signed them up, I received coupons in my email, for the week’s worth of bowling passes. They have certain hours that we are able to take advantage of the program, but for our family, it is going to be great!! read more

Hamburger Casserole

This is one of my family’s favorite casseroles. It has the vegetables that I want them to eat and the french fries that even my “picky” eaters will eat.

1 lb hamburger
1 pkg Frozen French Fries
1 pkg California Style Frozen Vegetables
1 can of Cream of Mushroom Soup ( I have used cream of chicken in a pinch when out of mushroom)
Several Cups of shredded cheese

Cook French Fries like you normally would, according to package . In the meantime, brown hamburger and drain grease. Put hamburger into a large bowl and add the Frozen Vegetables. Add can of Cream of Mushroom Soup and mix up . Spray a 9 x 14 pan with non stick spray. Line the bottom of the pan with the french fries. ( you may have a handful left over ) Then spread the hamburger/frozen veggie mixture on the top of the french fries. Put several handfuls of shredded cheese on the top. You want enough to cover the whole dish. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes. read more

Cream Cheese Danishes

I found this recipe somewhere (can’t recall where, wish I could give them credit) and HAD to share it with my followers! It is wonderful, and my best advice is to double it if you have family members like mine. They devoured them in less than 5 minutes and were screaming for more!!

2 Cans Crescent Rolls
1 pkg Cream Cheese (softened)
2 TB Melted Butter
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup White Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla

GLAZE:
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla
4 Tsp Milk

PreHeat oven to 350
In a bowl , mix your cream cheese, sugar and vanilla flavoring up. Set this mixture aside.
DANISH
Lay out your Crescent Rolls and take 2 of the triangles and push together and seal the seams , so that end up with a rectangle. Do that with all of them and you will have 8 rectangles. DANISH2 Brush the Crescent Roll with the melted butter and sprinkle 1 tsp of brown sugar on top. ( I added a couple pinches and didn’t measure…just make sure you have a little brown sugar all over the top of them) Then roll the Crescent Roll starting at the long end. Pinch your ends together. Once you have it rolled, then take it from the long side and roll into spiral, like a snake. Now you want to push the center of it with your fingers so you can put your filling in the center. The sides should be stretched and should look like this once you fill them. DANISH4 Get your cream cheese mixture and put about 2 Tbsp of the mixture in the middle of your Crescent Rolls. Bake for about 16-18 minutes, until golden brown.
MAKE THE GLAZE:
Mix together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla flavoring.
Drizzle the glaze over your danishes as soon as they come out of the oven.
Voila’………Home made Danish’s!
