Senior humor

As I wrote the title, I thought *Senior humor*......

NO, I think all of us have days like this.

ALSO--

maybe this would be a solution when you think you

need that FAST FOOD *fix*

HE tells you what to post..
Thanks Mrs. C for your post

Favorite Fall fruit

Pomegranates

I LOVE these, do you?

I can remember as a child

eating them off a neighbors tree.

Where we lived in California they were in abundance.

~~NOW~~

They are messy

The way I eat them is probably NOT the right way.

First.....I wash it, then cut it in quarters.

Put the 4 pieces in a bowl.

~~~THEN

THE IMPORTANT PART:

I COVER myself and my surroundings with a big TOWEL

They can be messy.

I then proceed to eat these tasty little seeds with a ice tea spoon.

NOT GLAMOROUS

NOT with any special way of prettying them up

BUT

oh

SO DELICIOUS

at least to me

~deby

Pomegranate or Pomegranates

is mentioned in the Bible over 40 times

ALSO they a VERY HEALTHY

~*~*~*~*~*~

Please keep praying for my brother, Lorin

he is now in-residence hospice care.

His wife is Brooke.

I am so thankful for ALL the care my sisters have given Lorin and Brooke

Susie and Lisa, YOU are the best !!!!

Fall and Spurgeon

"A Bible that is falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t."

— C.H. Spurgeon

Have a great Lord's day

in typing this,

I am thinking

"Everyday should be the Lord's day"

Psalms 118:24

This is the day which the LORD hath made;

we will rejoice and be glad in it.

~*~*~*~*~*~

BTW, I am not sure when Iwill have my MRI

results. My medical care is not the most

consistent system.

Thank you all for asking and the prayers.

Will let you all know

You blog friends mean so much to me

I am so thankful.

True Love

Autumn in my neck of the woods, has been so vibrant this year.

This picture does not do justice for the color that

has surrounded my area of the world.

I woke up *thinkin* about *things*

Do you ever do that?

I am thankful for God's WORD

These verses came to mind:

Romans 8:38

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,

nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,

nor things present, nor things to come,

Romans 8:39

Nor height, nor depth,

nor any other creature,

shall be able to separate us from the love of God,

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. .

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

During these days,

during all of your days

STAY in the WORD

IT is ALIVE

IT BRINGS PEACE

This is a reminder and encouragement for me

and also

for any of you.

as the song goes:

The B-I-B-L-E yes, that's the book for me

Autumn touches

My kitchen Valance
This Turkey was made for me about 20 years ago
from a friend in England

btw...have a double MRI tonight..pray for me if you think about it....these are hard on me

~~Had the MRI last night...whew..it is over and believe me it was the prayers that got me through.

it was a double one, head and back and then they wanted to go further down on my back so it took a bit.

I slept in my recliner all night as I am pretty sore from laying in one place so long. GOD is good...I had John 14:1 on my mind when I was in the tube and then prayed for so many things....THANK YOU...

Daniel

Like many of you I am somewhat concerned over the upcoming election.

I am trying to spend more time in the WORD. Last week I read through the book of Daniel. Sometimes prophecy and some OT doesn't click in my brain. Well I had to miss church ( not by choice)...so I went to Church of the Open Door's website and I was so blessed as the Pastor is doing a series on Daniel. I got through the first 2 of them and I am excited to listen to the rest of them, to assist me in studying this book of the Bible.

I recommend it....I need this to help me stay focused in these days, maybe you do too ????

~Deby

btw I have gotten through 4 sermons to date, WHAT A BLESSING !!!!!

Our Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to my husband.
I am so blessed. We were high school sweethearts. He is still my sweetheart and I am his. He loves God, his family and me . He makes my eyes light up although by this closed eye picture of me...well...maybe it is my dreamy look.
I just love this guy and I am so so thankful for him.

Baked potatoes (huge) and green bean casserole

So delicious and smells good when you are baking it !!!
DINNER IN A PUMPKIN

1 med. size pumpkin, topped and cleaned out

1 onion chopped and sautéed w/ground beef

1 lb. ground beef, browned and drained
3 Cups Cooked rice (white or brown)
1 can mushrooms or 1 c. fresh mushrooms (optional)
2 can cream of mushroom soup

Salt and pepper to taste (I also add pumpkin pie spice)
Combine ingredients and put in pumpkin.
Put top on pumpkin.
Place pumpkin on cookie sheet in oven preheated to 375 degrees.
Bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours. (you can tell it is done with pumpkin scrapes easily out of the pumpkin)
Serve dinner in pumpkin.
Scrape pumpkin out and serve on top of rice mixture with brown sugar.

The Pumpkin tastes like squash.
Do not open pumpkin while baking or
it will expand and top will not fit on pumpkin again

Fall pumpkin craft

I am not sure how many of you have seen these.

They are easy to do.

You get plastic dryer vent hose (you will have to figure out how much to cut, I forgot)

You glue it together with HOT glue

I painted it with several shades of acrylic paint(those little cheap ones from Wal-mart)

I used sponge brushes

The stem is a brown paper bag, rolled up

Add the extras...

I had more varieties as I made dozens of these BUT gave them away.

ALSO, there are several sizes of vent hose, try them all....

IF you make any, let me know...it was fun and VERY easy to do.
