the
first of May was six days ago, the little nostalgic nosegays on your
door handle was a picture in my imagination! How i would have loved to
deliver the simple gesture in reality!!! i have often dreamed what
would go into those paper funnels, maybe filled with lace and
ribbons, with a couple of daisies, baby's breath and a rose or two, a
chocolate truffle tucked underneath somewhere! A wish for you to have
a wonderful day where your most important people would remember
you!!!
and so the wish will continue on to MOTHERS DAY!
and so the wish will continue on to MOTHERS DAY!
Creation:
if
any of you have ever dabbled in the fine art of painting or drawing,
then you know that it takes many moves, and have you marveled at the
intricate lines, layers and shadows and colors that make up a
picture, did your eyes and thoughts turn up to the sky and think
about how God could have created a person in a day?
We
know Adam and Eve were created in a day: because He made the evening
and the mornings mentioned in the Bible, that each one was created
separately: to have a rib from Adam he had to have been made first,
they were made from the dust of the ground: He says from dust we were
made and from dust we will return, a mist covered the air” to give
balance in the formation and from dryness in blending, He used his
own hands: sometimes we have to do all the work so it will turn out
well as He did!! the responsibility and sense of well done is ours
and was His!! preparation and thought was given to the event in the
previous days of creation forming the earth for their enjoyment, He
used his own breath to bring life as mothers do in their daily
activities, He knew how He was made and made them in his likeness to
the very detail of cells and inner workings being dependent on the
health and vitality their bodies needed to move and function and
think.
Mothers
are made with that same care to the children she bears, to the family
she has agreed to belong to, to the friends and neighbors she comes
in contact with, to the work and play and thought that goes in
everything attached to her being. Woman (being without children) and
Mother have a synonymous connotation in that we have the same heart
for one another!
We
are His image!! if we are separated from that image, there is a
trouble that is not ours and not from His hands. I am so thankful
that we have God as our Father, that He made us just like Him!!

says:
He saw Me by MurrellEwing click on the title
He saw me, in His likeness,
He saw me, just like Him.
Pure, clean, and holy, spotless white, within,
but He saw me bound in heavy chains,
and longed to set me free.
But He knew if I became like Him
He must become like me.
He saw me, just like Him.
Pure, clean, and holy, spotless white, within,
but He saw me bound in heavy chains,
and longed to set me free.
But He knew if I became like Him
He must become like me.
Scripture says:
Genesis
1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in our image, according to
our likeness; and let them tend over the things on the earth....
Word for May.....
thankfulness or gramercy or benediction
Blessings
and prayers for all as each one prepares to be a mentor to the ones
you come in contact with!
Craft'n Contemplations
Just
a thought, i might know that a lot of you would rather write, than
craft, but you might be happy to do both!, as this lady has done in
the page below, she wrote a poem or story about her mother or friend.
One of my mom's best friends wrote her such a nice card and i have
saved it, nice to know that mom was loved by others for some reason.
Write one yourself, save it, or give it away, i would love to see
your stories!!!

NUTEENA
Do
you remember the old days when there was Nuteena? It was so goood!
Here is the original recipe that is almost the same as mock salmon or
peanut butter loaf
2 cups of potato water or plain water
½ cup of corn meal
1 ½ cups of peanut butter or 1 cup of peanuts blended smooth & ½ cup partially blended (this is just a matter of textural preference)
2 tablespoons of oil
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of salt (optional...depending on your love of salt)
½ teaspoon of poultry seasoning or sage
½ teaspoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of Lawry’s seasoned salt
½ cup of gluten or whole wheat flour (or ¼ cup of each)
2 cups of rolled oats
1 ½ cups of bread crumbs
Mix the first eleven ingredients in a blender until the consistency is smooth and then pour it into a large bowl. Add oats and bread crumbs. Next, grease two 9 ¼ x 5 ½ x 2 ½ glass dishes. Put 4 cups of the mixture into each of the greased glass casserole dishes. Bake one loaf at a time in the microwave for 4 minutes. Stir the outside edges into the middle. Put them back in the microwave (one at a time) and then repeat the process of stirring. Bake the mixture until it is firm but not dry.
