News From my bookstore ….

Yay, a freebie Friday from my bookstore, yep I will be joining up with www.HomeschoolFreebieOfTheDay.com and you can get this newest ebook FREE!,

Here is an excerpt from the introduction.

Creatively Simple How to Make Homemade Chicken and Dumplins

“My daughters love to cook and they have a way of taking a recipe I give them and making it better. In the case of Chicken and Dumplins it is much better. We love living in the South and Southern Chicken and Dumplins are better than anywhere else. We add our own touches like adding in vegetables and it becomes a healthy nutritious meal that still has that great Southern flavor. It really isn’t hard but it does take some know how. Join my daughters and I in the kitchen as we are happy to share with you how to make the most incredible Chicken and Dumplins you ever had. These are even better than that cute restaurant with the rocking chairs out front. :)

As my contribution to HomeschoolFreebieOfTheDay.com you can get me Creatively Simple How to Make Homemade Chicken and Dumplins at my Homeschool Freebie page here.

And … through the weekend I would love for you to fill up your shopping cart and use this discount code 19L24B65 for 25% off everything.I am so blessed to be able to bless YOU!

God blesses Chick-fil-A

Ht_Chick_Fil_A_090918_main

Atlanta-based fast food chain Chick-fil-A has recorded its 42nd consecutive year of sales growth, the company announced today. That’s more than $3.2 billion in annual sales — up nearly 9 percent year-to-year.

Chick-fil-A President and COO Dan T. Cathy said the company can thank exceptional customer service and unmatched quality for the continued success, before adding in the statement, “We have sensed God’s continued blessings on this business, especially during these unprecedented economic times.”

Thanking God in an earnings report?  the rest of the story here

Does God help those who help themselves? No that is a misquote. You won’t find it in scripture. God helps those who ask. And He blesses and honors those whom bless and honor Him. Put Him first and see what happens :)

gray and cold until the Light shines

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.

Ephesians 5:8

Without Jesus we are in cold frozen darkness even if we don’t realize it. Yet once we surrender to Him, it is light invading the darkness, in fact it is at that moment that we realize exactly how dark the darkness has been. And exactly how bright the light is. If we don’t keep our eyes on the brightness of Jesus we can lose our clarity of vision and pretty soon the darkness creeps back in.  The only way to live as children of light is to keep our focus on Him. He is the Way, the only Way. Without the realization of His love we are like frozen trees. Let his light and love in.

The purpose of Word filled Wednesday is to share God’s word (no famous quotes or other literature — only the beautiful word of our Father) through photo’s & a Bible verse!

I am happy to be hosting “Word Filled Wednesday” for Amy at the 160 acre woods

don’t forget, there is an apron giveaway going on and a freebie coming up Friday in my bookstore

home cooking works for me

So, what works for me this Wednesday? Home cooking works for me. As I was taking pictures while we were making a dish the other day my son was kinda laughing. I had to explain to him that I take so many pictures for the “how-to” books I write because most young women have no domestic skills. He has no understanding whatsoever of a young girl that doesn’t know how to cook, clean, bake, sew and tend a baby. He has 5 sisters are they are all quite accomplished in such areas. They are abnormal in today’s world. They also have lots of other skills but that is for another article. But what was getting him recently was when I told him my books are popular because they are basic. Step by step. He still doesn’t understand. That is ok he doesn’t need to :) .  But I am ever so grateful for the skills the Lord has taught me and how I am able to pass them along. So that is what works for me today, home cooking works for me. And if you would like to learn how to cook good ole Southern Chicken and Dumplins check out my bookstore Friday, there will be a free ebook waiting for you. Because home cooking works for me and it should for you too.
