Grandma's Girl Number Five

Grandma's turn to hold her!

Four precious little girls

Curly dark hair, soft little cheeks.

A very blessed Grandpa No-No.

Chocolate Avacado Pudding

Served up chocolate pudding last night using this recipe.

I used agave instead of honey, because it blends better with room temperature and cool ingredients.

Warning it is very, very rich dark chocolate. If you make it this strong you might want to top with some whip cream or vanilla ice cream.

Crying Wolf

This is a must see movie. It exposes what has really happened and is happening with the reintroduction wolf program.

We are living with this. The elk, moose, deer, antelope populations have all been affected.

Another domino effect: No game animals-No hunting-No reason for citizens to have guns/weapons.

Sunday–Prayer of General Confession

Almighty and most merciful Father,

we have erred and strayed from Your ways,

like lost sheep.

We have followed too much the devises and desires of our own hearts.

We have offended against Your holy laws.

We have left undone those things that we ought to have done,

and we have done those things that we ought not to have done,

and there is no health in us.

But You,

O Lord,

have mercy upon us miserable offenders.

Spare those, O God, who confess their faults!

Restore those who are penitent 

according to Your promises declared 

to mankind in Christ Jesus Our Lord.

And grant,

O most merciful Father,

for His sake,

that we may hereafter live godly,

righteous,

and sober lives to the glory of Your holy name.

Amen

Thomas Cranmer

Blending

Mr. Wonderful bought me a new blender…

Yes, it is one of those heavy duty can blend whatever I want type. A Blendtec!

We are having fun trying green smoothies, healthy juices, and such.
 I even made cashew butter today.

Here is our base smoothie recipe:
•About 1/4 cup frozen 100% juice concentrate
•About 1 cup plain yogurt
•About one handful or 1 loose cup of greens
•Up to 1 Tbsp. ground flax seed (I ground them in the new blender. It does a wonderful job! My old blender would only slightly chop the flax seed.)
•About 2 cups frozen fruit (You can use fresh, but you might want to add ice then to thicken.)
•If the fruit is tart I add a squirt of agave or up to 3/4 tsp. stevia

Push the smoothie button and enjoy!

O Worship The King

O worship the King all glorious above,

O gratefully sing his pow'r and his love;

our shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,

pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

O tell of his might, O sing of his grace,

whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,

and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

The earth with its store of wonders untold,

Almighty, your pow'r has founded of old;

has 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree,

and round it has cast, like a mantle the sea.

Your bountiful care what tongue can recite?

It breathes in the air; it shines in the light;

it streams from the hills; it descends to the plain;

and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,

in you do we trust, nor find you to fail;

your mercies how tender, how firm to the end,

our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

O measureless Might! Ineffable Love!

While angels delight to hymn you above,

the humbler creation, though feeble their lays,

with true adoration shall lisp to your praise.

Robert Grant, 1833

Ineffable–cannot be expressed with words, in a good sense.

Beeing A Friend

A dear friend came over last Sunday afternoon from out of town.

She brought a quilt to work on. It is a gift for her oldest daughter. An Irish Chain variation.

We had a 2 person Bee.

First we attached the outside border…

Next we seamed the backing…

Then pinned all the layers together…

Finally we started to tie the layers together.
