Time is now

Here is a lovely Basket of Flowers – Roses & Geraldton Wax

*******

I thought we would start off with a Poem today especially as it is New Year Time. Which I hope will be a really excellent 2016 for all who finds this page to read.

*

The above Poem is copied from the Book ‘Godly Verses’ by J.M.R. Larman.

*

It gives us really something to think about because all the things in the above Poem seem to be right. It is good to spend TIME to contemplate about TIME and what you yourself think about it.

The Days come and the Days go and there never seems to be enough TIME to do all the things we would like to do.

But God says not to worry about tomorrow as there is enough to think about today.

One good thing I believe – is not to put off till tomorrow what you can do today (that is the English way) but many people think it best to leave things for the next day hoping that someone else will do it for them. Well if they don’t it makes more work for the next day, what a blessing if we have already found TIME to do it.

Recipe:

Avocado on Toast

Slice Ripe Carnarvon Avocado onto Toast,

Sprinkle with Vinegar & Pepper.

Very nice for lunch with Salad or on it’s own.

………………

* God Bless you today and for the coming year 2016 with Love & Contentment where ever you are and what ever you do *

Christmas Blessings

*

A Variety of Flowers make up a different kind of basket.

Even putting in a couple of odd Vinca’s in makes it look nice.

If you are not keen on the perfume from the Vinca Flowers – spray over the whole arrangement with one of your favouite perfumes.

These are set in wet Oasis, so will only last for the day like this. It is best after using them for your display area that the flowers be tranfered to a vase when you arrive home. They should then keep nice for a week in the house.

*************************

This Poem reminds us of our loved ones that cannot visit us for Christmas. It really is a Poem for someone that we know we shall not be able to see anymore for one reason or another.

*

There is an awakening in my heart to-day,

I feel that you are not far away

but I cannot see you anymore.

Although your memory lingers on

and in my heart you are here to stay.

*

The above is part of a Poem ‘Where is that Special Place’ from the Book: ‘Godly Verses’ by: J.M.R.Larman.

Recipe: How about some Nibbles for Christmas:

Stuffed Dates

Pitted Dates + Marzipan

Cut a small slice of Marzipan and put into the opening in the Date where the stone has been taken out.

Arrange on a Platter, Cover and keep cold in Fridge until needed.

How simple is that then? and they are very YUMMY!

*******

2 John: Chapter 1 verse 6

And this is love; that we walk in obedience to His commands. As you have heard from the beginning, His command is that you walk in love.

***

* God Bless Us for Christmas & New Year as we try to walk in love with our family & friends & people we meet along life’s way*

God Bless You.

Peacemakers

Not a Basket of Flowers today but –

Sculptures of Dried Palm Ends.

Well we can’t be serious all the time can we?

I thought these would look great and make a change to look at in my garden that needs a lot of care at the moment. So I think they look quite good and should last for sometime. Obiously they are not likely to grow – will just stand there looking strange and interesting. Would be quite a talking point I thought until one of my friends doubled up with laughter wondering what they were. Get rid of them another said ‘throw them in the bin’ but no, they can stay for a while.

Just think before you throw out the old Palm Fronds or Stems what you can use them for, in the house as a flower arrangement or in the garden as I have done here. The thing is that family don’t always understand our thinking but as long as we are happy with the result – well there you are then.

*****

How about a Recipe: ?????

Dried Fig Jam

2lb. Dried Figs. 3lb. – Granulated Sugar, Strained Juice of 2-Lemons, One and half pints Water.

Soak the Figs in a bowl of water for 12hours, rinse in Fresh Water, cut into small pieces, removing any hard little pieces of stem. Put into a preserving pan with a pint and a half of Hot Water and simmer until tender. Stir in the Lemon Juice and Sugar and continue to cook until the Preserve is thick.

Pot while hot & cover.

Taken from the Book: ‘Carnarvon Recipes’ by: J.M.R. Larman.

*******

Bible Reading:

James: Chapter 3 verse 18.

Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

*

Just think how good it would be to be a peacemaker, someone who tries to keep the peace and not cause strife to anyone. Well we can but try can’t we?

I hope you have a lovely Day today,

maybe

sow something nice into your Garden

or

into a Flower Pot.

Spirit Wind of God

Ferns/Frods? from our Palms were used for this unusual Basket of Flowers for our latest Arrangement.

*****

The above flower arrangement did look nice from a distance in the Church. A bit too big to bring indoors unless you have a very large room to put it it. But if you would like to use the dried fronds that die off from your Palms – well, you can always cut them down to fit your new arrangement and have a bit of fun to make them look nice. It can be a good talking point when your friends come to visit.

This makes a nice change to use some of the dried flower leaves or fronds before they are thrown away.

*****

Here is a Poem for today that I especially like, it was written quite a while ago but it is still a favourite.

The Poem was taken form the book: ‘Godly Verses’ by J.M.R. Larman.

*****

Here is an easy Recipe for:

Roast of Goat.

1- Leg of Goat; 1 Clove of Garlic; Mustard; Sherry (Optional); Mint Flakes: Oven Bag;

Cut the Garlic in slices. Cut Slits in the top of skin of Goat, place Garlic in the Slits. Spread the Skin with some Mustard. Sprinkle with Mint Flakes and Roast in Oven Bag Slowly until tender.

That should be very nice and easy to do.

You could substitute the Goat for Lamb.

* I Pray you have a lovely day today with your Cooking and Flower Arranging *

To be Accepted

This is quite a nice arrangement of Dark Brown Leaves with colourful flowers.

*****

It is nice to know that a lovely arrangement of flowers can be made using some leaves from your garden with just a few pretty flowers to make a nice display for your home of office.

Many people don’t always go to the trouble of having live flowers in doors because they are out working most days, however it is lovely to come home to see a beautiful flower or flowers waiting to greet you.

*****

Poem for today:

This is part of the Poem ‘Where is that Special Place‘ taken from the Book of ‘Godly Verses’ by J.M.R. Larman.

Who would know that in my heart

there is this longing and longing

to be accepted for who I am

not just for what I can give.

Accept me my beloved in your heart

*****

Here is a short note from:

Lamentations Chapter: 3 verses 25-26.

The LORD is good to those whose hope is in Him,

to the one who seeks Him it is good to wait quietly

for the salvation of The LORD.

What about a new Recipe for today, as Mango Season will soon be here.

Poem: Lost Land of Teaspoons & Socks

Arrangement of Flowers on Beautiful Batic used as Table Cloth

*******

Hope you like todays Poem taken from the Book: Godly Verses by: J.M.R.Larman.

Yes I scanned the Poem in so it looks a bit wonky – but never mind eh!

I think most families have a box or bag or container of some sort with lots of Odd Socks in. When our children were little I used to keep all the Socks that I did not have time to pair up in a large cereal box – then when my Nanna came to visit it was one of the jobs that she used to like doing, pairing them up, so we did not have to send the children out in odd ones.

Years ago when one of my Brothers went to a wedding, guests were surprised to see that he had one red sock and one green one on….his response was that he had another pair like that at home. They did not realise my Brother was colour blind.

How fortunate we are who can see.

*****

Psalm: 13 verse 6.

I will sing to The LORD for He has been good to me.

******

I Pray that The Lord has been good to you and that He will continue to be so.

* God Bless you today *

Carnations

Pink Carnarnations in Jug

*****

The Carnarnations were given to me as a Birthday Boquet so I put them in this jug which seems to set them off very well. After a few days if you cut a small part off of the bottom of the stem the flowers will last much longer and you can put half a teaspoon of sugar in the water for them to feed on. (I think they like that) **************

Here is a Recipe you may like to try:

Baked Egg Custard: Use an ovenproof dish for this.

Whip up 2-Eggs. Cover with Cold Milk & stir in (1 Tablespoon) of Sugar. Sprinkle a little Nutmeg on top. Cook in Slow Oven till Set.

What about a Poem for this week –

Poem is taken from the Book: ‘For the Kingdom of God’ by Author: J.M.R. Larman.

A Bible Reading is-

Psalm: 7 verse 10

My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.

Water is needed

A lovely Boquet of Flowers

*

Have you looked at a Flower today,

have you smelt it,

have you felt it.

Do you have any that need watering today?

*

Today I found that my retriculation had not been working – Oh Dear – that is why the garden down that side of the house near the fence looked like it was dying. So that part of the garden had not been watered for sometime.

Thank goodness I do have a long garden hose, so I was able to give the plants a good drink and later on today hope to give them another drink to bring them back to life.

Now I will have to find out why they were not being watered – could be that the battery had stopped working – or maybe a leak somewhere in the retriculation pipe.

When you think of it – we are like flowers – if we don’t have water we will die.

How lucky we are in this country that we can just turn on the tap, fill a cup or glass with clean clear water and drink it – just like that –

For my part I can thank God that we are so blest that we have enough water to drink and to use on our plants, flowers and also for the growing of our fruit and vegetables.

*

Romans: Chapter 1 verse 16

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.

God Bless you today – have a lovely Day today –

Set Free

Here is a Poem for today: taken from the Book ‘For the Kingdom of God’ by Author J. Larman.

To be set Free.

I’ve been set free to Worship The Lord, our King of love for ever adored. Holy Spirit you love Him so. Teach me now, till into Heaven I go. To be there with Jesus our Saviour above. Filled ever-more with His glorious Love.

A love so big so strong so true. Waiting there-also especially for you. so don’t sit and dream of what might be. God really is there for you and me. Let us rise in the mornings and sing His praise. Look forward now to those Heavenly days.

Here on earth you can have the Lord’s love. God sent His Holy Spirit, represented by the Dove. If you open your heart to let Jesus in – He will take away your fear and your sin. Then after that invite His Holy Spirit too to dwell in Him and He in you.

Then you will be set free to worship The Lord, Jesus Christ our King, who is also, – by Angels adored. God sends His Angels to minister to us. They are so quiet, never making a fuss and they love The Lord truly as surely we must. So in God, Jesus – God’s Son and The Holy Spirit, let’s put our trust.

*****

Bible Verse:

Ephesians: Chapter 4 Verse 1

As a prisoner for The Lord,

then I urge you to live a life worthy of the

calling you have received.

*****

Well I believe it is really good to be a Prisoner for The Lord, so that we can walk in the Peace, Love, Contentment and Joy. Also we can pray effective Prayers knowing that as a Christian Jesus hears our prayers. Let us Pray and ask what calling we have from God to work for Him on this Earth. It can be just something that we are comfortable with i.e. helping our families or friends, we are not all called to be great Evangelists but we are called to share the Love of Jesus and the Gospel to others.

*****

Have a lovely Day as you practice being

a Prisoner for The Lord Jesus.

* God Bless You *
