Psalm 84:10-12
"Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you."
Thoughts from a page of my journal...
Yesterday I sat here at my dining room table and cut out pictures from magazines to paste on the pages of my journal. I had invited Linda and her girls to join me so they could start a journal also. For my first page I chose this picture of what I would consider a dream kitchen for myself. I would love to have a large, beautiful commercial appliance kitchen. Then this morning I read Psalm 84 and am reminded of a couple important facts. First off, this kitchen that I desire doesn't even compare to what God has in store for me in heaven. I would rather be a pot washer in heavens kitchen than dwell in the nicest kitchen here on earth! Second, "no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless." I have so much good in my life. I am thankful and blessed. Thank you heavenly Father for my life. May I daily put my trust in You.
About Me
- Susan
- I am a stay at home mom who enjoys this God-given gift. I am deeply in love with my husband of 22 years. He is the hardest working man I know. Together we run our own handyman company. He strikes the nail with the hammer fixing things and I strike the keyboard with my fingers managing the paperwork. We have four awesome children ranging in age from 6 to 21. I am always looking for ways to save money and do things the way my mom and grandmother used to do. More work doesn't have to mean less fun, in fact for me it is more fun to get back to simpler ways. I am writing this blog to share my knowledge of what I have learned about all sorts of things that bring me joy such as: canning, making household cleaners, managing my "me" time, spending time in the kitchen, and more. Any mom always has so much to do, yet the most asked question of me by anybody in my family is "What's for dinner Mom?" In this blog I hope to encourage you, give you proven tasty recipes, and give you ideas for a back to basic way of life.

Hi Susan,
I was reminded of when I said to Grandma that Grandpa was waiting at the table in heaven for her to make a spaghetti dinner for him. Her reply was that if she had to cook that it wasn't heaven. So what do you think? Is she washing pots? I pray that for a change she is being waited on. Just like you will be one day. Love you, Mom
