Thinking About Canning?

This spring, I tried my hand at home canning.  Although it was hard work, it was well worth the effort.  The garden is long gone, but I have shelves of pickles, relish, green beans, pear butter, jellies and others. 

Since the garden produce comes in fast and furious, the time to research is NOW!  One of my favorite places for frugal tips, cooking inspiration and home keeping ideas is Hillbilly Housewife.

She is offering a free resource Canning 101.  This is a short report going over the basics of canning and has some great information for those considering giving canning a try.  If you like it, she has many other resources to help! 

Canning can be fun, done quickly and efficiently and is a great blessing to the family and way to extend homemade kindness.   Take advantage of this freebie to learn more!

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...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
