All This Food!!!

Right before Christmas, I was on an awesome fitness routine. Exercising regulary - light weights 5 days a week, doing a 4 mile walk 5 days a week. Eating in moderation, lots of fruits and veggies, easy on the starches, etc. Balance is the key for me, if I deprive myself,that is not good!!, but if I do allow a treat, moderation is the key.
Then came along the Christmas season...still we did not have an abundance of events to attend etc. Then last week it all bombarded! Dear husband and I went Christmas shopping and had lunch at a fabulous buffet restaurant. Then two days later we took the kids to an amusement park and again ate a fabulous buffet. Sunday night we enjoyed celebrating Christmas at my mother in law's home with of course more delicious food. Christmas night I prepared dinner for my family which is much smaller than dear husbands. I cooked for 12 and I'll quickly share the menu:

Baked Ham
Turkey Breast
Cornbread Dressing
Sweet Potatoe Souffle
Collard Greens
Macaroni and Cheese
Acre Peas
Dinner Rolls
and of course dessert
Chocolate Mousse
Pecan Pie

So,of course, there is tons of leftovers here. And then...I tried this new recipe for Ranch Potatoes which I will be posting on my cooking blog.

So, I surely need to get back to my pre-Christmas routine - once all this food is gone!!!

But I plan to post some great recipes on my cooking blog and share some treasures from the Lord soon. Keep watching!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

WFW – Write It On My Heart

This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel       after that time, declares the Lord.    I will put My laws in their minds       and write them on their hearts.    I will be their God,       and they will be My people.  Hebrews 8:10 On a recent field trip to a museum featuring the days gone by, we sat in an old schoolroom as the teacher introduced us to the quill pen and bottle of ink.  She cautioned us to use extreme caution using the ink and told us that if it got on our skin or clothes, it would not come off. This reminded me of this beautiful promise from Hebrews.  God told His people he would put His law in their minds and write it on their hearts.  This is a covenant which cannot be broken.  He loves us and wants us to know Him through His Word.  As we read more and more of His Word, it becomes w...
