The Fluffernutter..........A New England Classic

A yummy treat that just about every kid raised in New England would recognize as a staple for decades.

Marshmallow Fluff was invented in Somerville, Ma .

A little Fluff trivia for ya.

Fluff is 50% sugar.........could explain all the obesity and dental bills.

But we loved it. I still do. It is one of those comfort food things.

It is 10:29 pm on a Sunday evening and we are just getting back from a long day and what did I just make..............My old pal . Fluffernutter.

Unfortunately I did I know we were out of bread. Hesitating to go to the market , procrastinating is more like it .

But thank goodness in the bread box was some wonderfully fresh
Hot dog rolls and they worked just fine. Finished my treat and and sipping on my sweet , hot Lipton tea before I turn out the lights.

Blessings, GG

I love old things..............

I love to decorate using Old things and New. Some of the things that I cherish the most would seem like junk to most people. For some reason I am almost drawn to what other's would consider useless.

I love to take things that seem to have very little value and place them among things that have a great deal of value.

When it is all finished. They all seem to be of equal worth to me.............And just lovely. In my eyes.

Jas:2:1: My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.Jas:2:2: For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;Jas:2:3: And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:Jas:2:4: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?Jas:2:5: Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

Finding Peace in the presence of God

So many people have recently spoken about being unsettled, anxious, having feelings of restlessness. I have experienced this myself on numerous occasions, and most of the time my relief comes from abiding in the presence of God .

Often times when we have these "stress" , "anxious", "panicky" episodes we may find it difficult to read God's word or to come into his presence in prayer. Sometimes there may be a "feeling" of heaviness /sadness/hopelessness. It is not uncommon to have these thoughts or feelings. And you are not alone. It is not uncommon! But God's gives us promises ........

1Pe:5:10: But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

We need to adjust our focus.

Someways to change the atmosphere or climate within your spirit or home is to ...................

Put on Praise Music .........

Play Praise and Worship in your home .

Isa:61:3: To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Listen to God's Word.........

You can pick up cd's at the dollar tree in our area of the entire new testament for $1.00 or cds of the individual books of the bible. Play it in you home so that the Word is going forth. You can't ever get too much of God's Word.

Psalms:119:105: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Proverb:30:5: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Heb:4:12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Pray.........

It is a spiritual weapon and a beautiful way to come into our Heavenly Father's presence. If you are unsure what to pray....pray in the Spirit and then pray in your understanding....

Ro:8:26: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.


Pray with your Prayer Partner and ask other believers to pray for you concerns too !

De:32:30: How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?

Jas:5:16: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

IF these feelings persist...............Speak to your Pastor. God has put him in place in the Body to care for the sheep.

If you do not have a Pastor at this time......Speak to a Brother or Sister in the Lord who is mature and can give you Godly counsel . Seek out Fellowship with like-minded believers.

God is Faithful

God ALWAYS causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus! Praise the Lord!!!!

The Yorks.........................York, Maine

It's calling to me..............early! The sound of the waves. The smells of the Ocean. The seafood. The stars. Breakfast at The Golden Rod! The warm sun shining on our faces. Really fishing . Sleeping in the afternoon. Huge Lobsters, Steamers, Corn on the Cob! Ice cream in the evening. Falling off to sleep with the waves crashing at your doorstep.

English Ivy...........Verigated

Examining all of the foliage and plants and shrubs, trees, flower beds, around and about this old house is a lot of fun.
Recently while we were planting new Juniper and Holly and upon closer investigation .........

I found around the entire perimeter of the granite foundation ...........English Ivy.

Lots and Lots of it. I love bringing the outdoors in and this will make it's way into the house by the fall.

This is what I rescued from and area that will become a new planting bed. I just love it

Today............

Thanking the Lord Jesus for His precious Holy Spirit.
How refreshing and calming it is to be in a time set apart to spend with the Lord.

Today's time of prayer and fasting spoke volumes to my heart and spirit. There are so many "voices" in competition for our time , our attention and devotion. I was especially aware of the voice of the Spirit today. And how important it is to be led by the Spirit of God. God's Spirit is not loud and boisterous.

Joh:3:8: The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

There are so many "distractions" that would keep us from hearing the still small voice of God.

Like the story of the prophet Elijah........in 1st Kings 19 .........

1Ki:19:11: And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
1Ki:19:12: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

Mountain tearing, Earthquakes , Fires burning. But the Lord was not in them.

Pig Flu's, Famines, Supreme Court Appointee's.............

Listen and be led by the still small voice of God's precious Holy Spirit . For the battle is the Lord's .

1Sa:17:47: And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.

Hugs & Prayers, GG
