Thoughtful Thursdays: God Will Be Our Guide

By 2 Comments

After Tuesday’s elections, some people are ecstatic. Some people are angry. Some people are nervous.

You know what I am?

Confident.

Confident in God's love. 
Confident in God's sovereignty. 
Confident in God's control. 
Confident in God's leading. 
Confident that God is good. 
Confident that God does all things well. 
Confident that God makes no mistakes. 
Confident that I can trust God.

Confident.

This confidence has nothing to do with how I voted. It has nothing to do with how the country’s vote turned out. I would write this if President Trump was leading in the electoral vote count, and I would write this is Joe Biden was leading in the electoral vote count. It only has to do with our great God.

In our church’s Wednesday night’s prayer meeting, my husband preached through Psalm 48. He is preaching through a Psalm every Wednesday night, and he has gotten to the 48th chapter; he did not preach through this Psalm because of the election.

The first verse of Psalm 48 says,

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

No matter what happens, our God is great and He is greatly to be praised.

God is our guide even unto death. Turn to your guide all the time -- but especially in times of uncertainty.

The last verse of Psalm 48 says,

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

Is He your guide? Are you in His Word? His Word is our map. Do you have the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit in your life? The Holy Spirit is the guide. The only way to have that indwelling, that guiding presence in your life, is to fully trust in what Christ has done for you on the cross. He died on the cross to redeem, to save, you from your sins. When you trust in that saving grace, the Holy Spirit comes into your life and then guides you for the rest of your days here on this earth.

When He is your guide, you can be confident!

Thoughtful Thursdays: Bible Games for Kids

This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase those items through my links I will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through my link. Go HERE for more disclaimers.

By 1 Comment

Growing up, my family loved to play games. We had all types of games, including some fun Bible games. Some of the games are actually educational games like this old Bible trivia game I played as a child, but many of them were just fun games.

Even though my husband and my kids don’t play as many games as I did as a kid, we still have some favorite games we do play.

Here are some of our favorite kid/adult Bible games that we have even used for parties:

Not only do I love games, but I love games that make learning fun — especially learning about the Bible! So when Bible Games Central asked me if I wanted to review a few games, I said, “Sure!”

I got these games all for free. I received no monetary compensation, but I promise to give my honest opinion.

Here are the four games I received:

Play Bible games for a fun activity -- and you may learn something too!
  • Parable Parade

In this game, players must collect complete sets of Parable Cards.
You can draw as many cards as you like, but be careful. Draw an Oopsie! Card and you will pay the price!
Collect the Cards. Complete the Story. Capture the Point.
Video instructions for this game can be found HERE,

Play Bible games for a fun activity -- and you may learn something too!
  • Bible Bingo
Play Bible games for a fun activity -- and you may learn something too!

Bible Bingo is a simple and fun game that also helps players become more familiar with the Bible.
The Bingo cards you find in this game are specially designed to correspond to how the Bible is organized.
They are divided into distinct, colored sections which match the sections of the Bible. There is also a 12 page overview of the books of the Bible and the sections of the Bible.

  • Bible Memory Game

Each Bible Memory Game set contains 2 decks of 66 cards that are beautifully illustrated to reflect the 66 books of the Bible.
A color bar at the bottom of each card indicates which section of the Bible it belongs to.
For an easier, quicker game, only use cards from the Old Testament, New Testament or selected sections of the Bible.

Play Bible games for a fun activity -- and you may learn something too!
  • Christmas Bingo
Play Christmas game for a class or large family!

 This festive game set is adorned with 24 colorful illustrations of the nativity scene, baby Jesus, the wise men, Christmas trees, gingerbread houses and more!

I am going to use this game for our little school’s (9 kids) Christmas party.

Additional information on any of these games can be found HERE.

These games would also make excellent gifts for Christmas! Try them out and let me know how you liked them!

Come link up your thoughtful posts to Thoughtful Thursdays linky party!

The thoughtful topics for your posts could be related to but not limited to the following topics:

* homemaking * homeschooling * devotional or Biblical posts * Christian in nature * family/marriage * inspirational *

  1. Do NOT link up recipes, reviews, giveaways, diy, or crafts.

Tasty Tuesdays: Peanut Butter Chip Muffins

Kids need to learn how to cook.

I know I haven’t been great at getting my kids in to help in the kitchen recently. I work Monday – Thursday, and when I get home, I usually make something easy and fast. I can get it done faster by myself, and sometimes I just want to be by myself in the kitchen. I have taught my kids and 5 others all day, and I need some quiet.

However, it is good to get kids to help, and they all need to be able to cook some day. So it’s up to us to teach them. It also can be a fun bonding time. Some kids will actually love cooking. Who knows? Maybe, one of your kids will love it so much that they will get good at it and can cook for you!

So how do you get kids helping in the kitchen?

  • Find easy recipes that they can make.
  • Find recipes that they will succeed making.
  • Find recipes of food that they will enjoy eating.
  • Get them a fun recipe book.
  • Buy them their own apron and cooking items.
  • Have them make food items they can give to others.
  • Make a big deal out of what they have made by praising them and talking about it to others.
  • Have a schedule where they help cooking in the kitchen once a week when they are younger and have them occasionally make a whole meal when they are older.

One cookbook I was recently given so that I could give my honest review on it is called The Everything Kids’ Cookbook Updated Edition. Kids would love this colorful book with simple recipes. Simon & Schuster also let me make and share one of the recipes from this book called Peanut Butter Chip Muffins.

The Everything Kids' Cookbook Updated Edition -- get your kids cooking!

My 13-year-old came to the kitchen and helped prepare these muffins. We had them done in no time. They were good! My husband, who doesn’t like overly sweet desserts, liked these muffins. I had to eat them along with a glass of milk as otherwise they were a little dry.

Kids can make these yummy Peanut Butter Chip Muffins!

Easy to make Peanut Butter Chip Muffins

Peanut Butter Chip Muffins
Course: Bread
Servings: 12 people
Calories: 250 kcal
Author: Sandra K. Nissenberg
Ingredients
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ cup peanut butter chips
Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line the cups with paper liners.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the peanut butter, egg, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and milk. Beat the ingredients until smooth.

  3. Add the flour and baking powder. Mix until just blended. Do not overmix.

  4. Stir in the peanut butter chips with a wooden spoon.

  5. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin so each cup is about two-thirds full.

  6. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the muffins are light brown on top. Using pot holders, remove the muffin tin from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Cool 5 minutes in the muffin tin, then carefully turn the tin over to remove the muffins.

  7. Serve warm or let the muffins cool before eating.

Recipe Notes

For a different twist, you can substitute ¼ cup chocolate chips for ¼ cup of the peanut butter chips.

Thoughtful Thursdays: God Can Use Ordinary People

This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase those items through my links I will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through my link. Go HERE for more disclaimers.

By Leave a Comment

We are total book people in our family — at least my husband and I are. My husband, as a pastor, has 3 rooms of books at the church with over 25 bookcases full of books. I have my teaching books, my Christian fiction books, my kid books, and my women Bible study books.

One type of book I really enjoy reading is biographical types of books. Many times I like reading books where several short biographies are presented in one book. I can read one chapter quickly and save the others for another day.

This is probably why I enjoy the John C. Maxwell books so much. They are like mini-biographies on different characters in the Bible with applications we can make to our own lives.

Here are a few other books I have read that have short biographical chapters for different people. Many are Christian biographies. Some are historical biographies.

There are several more suggestions for biographies HERE. I bought a couple just reading them — that’s how into books I am. Christian Leaders Of The 18th Century was only 99 cents on the Kindle app, and I had a $1 credit, so I got that one for free!

Ordinary People Extraordinary God: 17 Personal Stories of Lives Transformed by the Love of God

One book that I am interested in reading is a brand new book that I was just given to review. I did not receive any compensation for the book. It is titled, Ordinary People Extraordinary God: 17 Personal Stories of Lives Transformed by the Love of God by Rich Schatz with Stephen Eyre.

What’s interesting about this book is that it isn’t well know heroes of the faith or famous preachers or martyrs. These 17 people are just everyday people who let God work in their lives. The book should be an encouragement to readers that God can use anybody for His honor and glory.

The book shares about 17 of Schatz’s personal friends who were “ordinary” people that reached others with God’s love and grace. It shares “that all God needs from His followers is their availability because He will supply everything else that is needed to get His work done.”

Whatever it is, many of us deep inside fear we are not good enough or smart enough or capable enough to do anything important for God. But we must not listen to these messages — either from ourselves or from others. Instead, we must listen to God, and He says we are more than enough.

Rich Schatz
Believe that God can use you -- He will supply all you need if you just allow yourself to be available.

I love this concept because we are all average people — that God can use in amazing ways. We just need to believe His promises:

  • I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13
  • Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10

Here are the John Maxwell blog posts:

Running with the Giants Book:

Wisdom from Women in the Bible Book:

  • Rahab: God’s Story is Full of Surprises
  • Sarah: Waiting on God
  • Ruth: Follow Your Heart?
  • Hannah: God Answers
  • Abigail: Never Underestimate the Power of One Small Act

Tasty Tuesdays: How to Save Time in the Kitchen

This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase those items through my links I will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through my link. Go HERE for more disclaimers.

By 2 Comments

Working and busy moms are always looking for ways to save time in the kitchen.

Now that I work 4 days a week, I make a lot of easy, and sometimes not-so nutritious, meals. I love to make breakfast dinners as those are fast and easy! There are several ways to plan ahead so that we can eat nutritious dinners on those busy days.

Here are some strategies that may help save some time in the kitchen:

How to save time in the kitchen on those busy nights.
  • Spend a day making freezer meals. Then you just have to stick them in the refrigerator the night before and bake them when you get home.
  • Use your slow-cooker (35 crock-pot recipes) to make recipes that will be ready when you get home or your instant pot to make quicker meals (30 Instant Pot recipes).
  • Make a menu so that you know what you are making each night and start the prep over the weekend.
  • Have canned or preserved foods on hand (See recipe book below).
  • Buy frozen foods that can be turned into easy meals. (See recipe book below.) These recipes can be made in under 30 minutes, but the meals are so much better than preparing frozen chicken nuggets.

One perk about sharing a weekly recipe, is that I often get to review new cookbooks. Of course, I give my honest opinion of the cookbook; and for the following two cookbooks, no monetary compensation was received.

I recently received 3 cookbooks from Simon & Schuster. One of them I will share next week, but the other two were called Self-Sufficient Living: Canning and Preserving and The 30-Minute Cooking from Frozen Cookbook.

Canning and Preserving Cookbook

I’m actually very excited about this book. Ever since moving to Florida, I don’t plant vegetables. I tried it once, and the rabbits ate everything. But this is not just a canning cookbook. It has some freezer recipes as well as some jerky recipes that I can do in my oven.

I also would like to try the soup recipes using a pressure canner. Those would be great during our hurricane season.

Here is the table of contents:

Table of Contents for Canning and Preserving cookbook.

This cookbook (The 30-Minute Cooking from Frozen Cookbook) is perfect for those nights when you forgot to plan ahead. It takes items you would buy frozen such as fish, meatballs, tortellini and more and then incorporates them into a main dish. Plus, there is no pre-thawing required! If you are like me, you forget to take something out of the freezer in the morning. No need to worry with this cookbook! There are over 100 recipes that are for breakfast, main meals, dessert, and even some vegetarian meals!

Try one of the books out and let me know what you think of it! I think both of them are great, yet they are very different from each other. At first, I didn’t think I would enjoy the canning/preserving book much as I am not canning anything right now, but then I saw it had many other recipes besides just canning recipes, so that made me much more excited about it. And then I’m always for a meal that will take me less than 30 minutes to prepare! That’s a win for sure!

HERE ARE THE FEATURED PINS FROM LAST WEEK’S PARTY:

RULES:

  • Rule #1: Link up only 2 PINS (not blog posts. Pins that are duplicates from a previous week will not be repinned.)
  • Rule #2: Do NOT re-pin from the linky below.
  • Rule #3: You must commit to re-pinning from WEEK 320, THE ULTIMATE PINTEREST PARTY on SATURDAY or SUNDAY. (Re-pin from the pins that say “The Ultimate Party, Week 320 pins.”)
  • Rule #4: Please only link up your own original pins that contain your images to this party. Do not link up pictures of other bloggers that you may have included in a round-up. Your collage of pictures for a round-up would be fine.
  • Rule #5: Please do not link up sale posts from your blog or sale posts that go to Etsy or Ebay –only pins that go to actual blog posts on your blog. Thank you.

Details to Observe:

  • Before you link up the pin, click on the pin and make sure it takes you to your post, not your home page.
