God pours out blessings each and every day. I often wonder if God will show us the blessings we missed in life when we get to heaven. I hope he does!
TODAY'S BLESSINGS.....
MEAL IDEAS (without food)
I'm trying to stay away from the grocery store a few more days and am running out of food ideas. You know you are really low on food when the eggs, bread, lunch meat, veggies are gone. I'm really to the point that I should go to the store but ALAS God gave me another wonderful meal idea to get me to my goal of waiting till Sat. :)
I mixed mac and cheese with a little chili (found in the freezer), brocolli, frozen spinach (back of freezer) and placed in a casserole dish. I topped it with my last 1/4 cup cheese :), corn flakes and drizzled a little butter on top. I then baked it at 350 for 20 mins.
"THIS IS DELICIOUS" came from my children's lips. It was really, really good!
I got a little carried away sharing how excited I was that God gave me the idea for the meal. One of my chlidren commented that they had heard enough of my excitement. Hee, hee.
As I was sharing with my children how God blesses us in this way my daughter shared how God had been helping her -
FOCUS
"Mom I asked God last night to help me stay focused on school today. I don't feel I've been getting much done and it takes me all day. I don't know why. Last night I prayed. Today I was done before 1:00 and now I don't know what to do with the rest of my day."
This is an ANSWERED PRAYER for certain!
TIME
I have been FORCING myself to spend time with God each morning. I say forcing because it does take force at times when my mind is wandering or I have things to do. I have been sticking to my time with the Lord even if I don't feel like it. God has been showing me things I don't normally notice AND.......I am feeling more peace, patience AND my days are not flying by. I am finding my duties are done early and I have time to prep dinner, time to sit with a child, time to relax. That is NOT normal! I am going to give God all of the credit for extra 'time'.
FEAR
My daughter has been fearful each night. This is a praise simply because my daughter is seeing that her fear can be overcome with the Lord's help. She is not one to remember to pray and this is causing her to be in prayer before going to sleep.
GOD'S VOICE
The Lord brought 1 Tim 4:8 to my attention yesterday morning as I was wondering how much more time I had remaining to spend with God. At the time I wanted to walk the dog or get some form of exerise. God had other plans -
1 Timothy 4:8 Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.
Off to bake cookies and perhaps hot pretzels with my sweet girls before hubby returns from work.
Enjoy the rest of your day my friends.

Sounds like we were in the same 'empty pantry' dream. I cooked up some ground beef, made homemade taco seasoning, added shredded cheddar and corn bread mix and saved the night. I did boil all the water out of the green beans I had steaming, but we will not talk about that....
