As it is getting near Christmas I thought I would put this Bible Verse in about Jesus.

Matthew: Chapter 1 verse 21….

She will give birth to a son and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.

***

I am so glad that Mary was obedient, because if she had not given birth to Jesus where would you and I be today. It does not bear to think about it! Praise God today for the Birth of Jesus who also was obedient to Our Heavenly Father to the extent of dying on The Cross for yours and my sins. I Praise You Heavenly Father that You allowed Your only Son Jesus to come to earth to save us from certain death. Thank You that we choose to celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ our Lord being born on this earth. Amen.

***

The above is taken from the book ‘Drink from the Cup’ by J.M.R. Larman.

Here is a nice Recipe for you – it is in the e-Book – with lots of other tasty ones.

* I hope you have a lovely day today.*

Cheese Dreams Recipe!

What a beautiful Bouquet of Flowers to Brighten our day

I thought we would start off with a Recipe today……. so here it is the Cheese Dream Recipe. You may have another name for it but this is what our family usually does call it. Hope you may like to give it a try.

CHEESE DREAMS:

2 – Slices Sandwich Bread. Cheese to cover on one Slice. Frying Pan. Oil for Frying.

Method:

Put Cheese on one Slice of Bread, Cover with the next Slice.

Cover base of Frying Pan with Oil, when Oil is hot carefully put in your Cheese Dream and fry until golden brown underneath then turn over and brown the next slice.

The Cheese will melt and be YUMMY !

If you like – you can sprinkle some mixed herbs on the Cheese before cooking, or sprinkle some Garlic on to the cheese for a different taste.

I like to sprinkle with the herb thyme, it goes very well when melted into the Cheese.

The above Recipe is in this Recipe Book; available as an eBook through this Link below.

Runner Beans?

Fresh Picked Brown Leaves with Artificial Roses.

They look lovely in this display ready to take to Church.

Would also make a nice presentation in your home or office for a few days.

***

How about a Runner Bean Recipe:

Runner Beans, Garlic Powder, White Pepper, Oil.

***

Wash, trim, and cut the Runner Beans (the way you like them). Put in a Microwave dish. Sprinkle with the Garlic Powder and White Pepper. Then drizzle small amount of your favourite Oil over. Shake it all about and cover to put in Microwave oven for about two minutes on high, or until they are cooked to your liking.

This is a quick and easy way to cook the Runner Beans and they taste really good. Remember do not add any water when you cook them this way.

***

  Poem: What is Time?

What is time? Time is to live. Time to die. Time to forgive.

Time to try. Time to laugh. Time to cry. Time to sleep.

Time to sigh. Time to eat. Time to sing. Time to pray.

Yes the time is now. To pray and praise God.

Any time is the right time, to Praise The Lord.

Time belongs to God. Time is Eternal

Time is forever. Time timeless. Time is Time past & present

Here and now. Time waits for no one

Time is all around us. Time quiet. Time you cannot hear

Time can heal. Time you cannot feel. Time you cannot see.

Time is like the wind. Time is ever present. Time has gone

Time is yet to be. Time is NOW.

Flapjack Cookies?

* Just a simple Basket of Flowers today *

With Bougainvillea and some yellow Lantana. 

*

Sometimes you only need a few cuttings of flowers with some leaves from the garden to make a lovely arrangement.

I hope you can find some kind of flower from your garden or maybe purchase some from the shop – to make a special arrangement for your kitchen or lounge room.

It is amazing how flowers can lift the spirit  and we can receive some joy from their perfume also from their presence in our home.

Even one flower or a couple of small cuttings of green leaves in a vase or glass can be very nice.

In the kitchen if you put a sprig of Mint in a glass or other Herb that you specially like somewhere near the sink it is really nice to touch one of their leaves between your fingers and smell their particular perfume.  It can give you a lift in your spirit while washing up…..etc.,  Remember you can also eat one of the leaves off of your special Herb, they are very good for us.

Here is a tasty recipe:     (Have you ever made these)?

The Children will love them *

Flap Jacks: 

6 oz-Butter or Margarine;  6 oz-Demerara Sugar; 8 oz-Rolled Oats; pinch of Salt.

Cream the Butter until soft. Mix together Sugar, Oats & Salt then Stir into the Fat.  Transfer the mixture to greased tin 9” by 12” and spread evenly. Bake for 30 mins. At Reg. 5. or 180 deg.  When cooked leave for a few minutes in the tin, then cut into squares or fingers.

*

Psalm: 133 verse 1

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

*

We can dwell in unity with each other and share a Flap Jack…….How about that then???????????

Thought you may like a Poem – so here we are:-

“Pansy Flower ”

 Hello, I am a Pansy Flower, with a face upon my Petals.

My face is full of colour – Purple, Red and Yellow.

You can see my face if you look quite closely.

My face looks to the sky.

Although I am beautiful I am really quite shy.

I hide among the taller plants, they are so high and lofty.

But I don’t mind a bit, because I’ll never – ever be lonely.

We usually grow in clusters you see, us dearest little ’Pansies’.

Children love to peer at us, they wonder if we can see them.

Yes of course we can.

We see the Sun, we feel the breeze, the lovely refreshing rain.

We love to grow in our little clumps and we cheer you up

if you feel down in the dumps.

I have no arms or legs you know but I have good strong

leggy roots.

So grow me in your garden beds or put me in a pot.

Just remember not to put me somewhere that is really too hot.

Remember I am your little Pansy friend

with a beautiful friendly face.  …

*Hope you have a lovely Day Today*

Gluten Free Date & Banana Cake *

Just Artificial & Dried Flowers today but they still look lovely.

Do you like Bananas and Dates? This is a Gluten Free recipe that I have made and seems to work O.K. It is also good to eat for anyone who is not gluten free. So all family can hopefully enjoy it.

I also found it was quite tasty with butter and lemon curd (spread) or jam put on it when you cut a slice to eat.

Round ones are good but I made a square one which is easier to slice and butter.

Here is my new Recipe:……

Date & Banana Cake:

3cups: Gluten Free Self Raising Flour.

1cup: Dates + heaped Teaspoon Bi-Carb.

2: Banana’s or (3 small ones) Mashed

Sugar to taste at least half a cup.

1teaspoon: White Vinegar.

2oz: Margarine.

Method:

To Soak Dates: Sprinkle with the Bi-Carb, – Cover with Boiling Water – allow to soak half to 1hour. (I find it best to cut Dates in half before soaking to make sure no date stones are in them).

Rub Margarine into Flour with your hands, then Mix All Together (yes – put Date Water in) if necessary add a bit more water but don’t make the mixture too wet.

Put into lined Baking Tin….

Sprinkle over the top of Cake Mixture with extra Sugar.

Bake in over 180deg. approx. 1hour.
