Whenever dinnertime approaches, the smoothie preparation begins. Most of the time, it is our "appetizer" before the meal. We like to experiment with what we put in the cool drinks, but this is basically what goes in the tasty treats....
Here it goes, the secret ingredients (whoops! not so secret anymore since they just posted on the WORLD wide web ;)....
When I prepare them, I don't really measure out the ingredients. Normally, I just do "a little of this" and "a little of that." But, to make it maybe a wee bit easier, I'll try to make up a recipe (if it doesn't turn out, please don't sue me...work with it, that's the fun of "experimenting"). :D
What you will need:
2 bananas
8-10 strawberries
1 cup of orange juice
1/2 cup of blueberries
A glass full of ice cubes
What you will do:
~ Combine all ingredients into the nifty invention called the blender.
And if you don't have one of those....well, I really don't know what to tell you....
~ Blend until ice is completely crushed.
~ Pour into glasses and ENJOY!
Ta-Da! See, it's so easy a cave man can do it! (haha. i love those commercials. :)
Ok. Well, she's not so little...but very pretty...inside and out. That's my sis.
After church one Sunday, we changed our clothes and went to take pictures in a wonderful cotton field. Probably the only cotton field that has not been harvested in the whole county (it's that time of year...cotton pickn' time). ;D
The sky was gorgeous, the cotton was fluffy, and the girl was...well....so photogenic. ;)
Enjoy...
You just gotta dig those blue fingernails. ;D
Boots and cotton...doesn't get much better than that.
This song has been such an encouragement to me for the past few months. For me, waiting can be SO HARD and alot of times I want things to happen right then. :) But you know what? Like the song says, it may not be His timing. God's wisdom is so much greater than ours!
I hope this song is as much a blessing to you as it is to me.....
FYI, I did not put this together. It was something I got off of YouTube. :) Also, you might want to scroll down to the bottom of the blog and pause the playlist before listening to the clip.
Grace. mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
2 John 3
On September 19, 1945, missionary Darlene Deibler was liberated from the Japanese Prison Camp at Kampili, seventeen days after Japan had signed the Instrument of Surrender aboard the USS Missouri. She was in bad shape; having been subjected to years of physical suffering and mental torture.
Eight years before, Darlene and her husband, Russell, had landed as missionaries in New Guinea. Plunging into the work, they were making solid progress in building a growing church, aided by Darlene's dear friend and mentor, Dr. Robert Jaffray. Now both Russell and Dr. Jaffray were dead, and Darlene was leaving behind two lonely white crosses on the hillside. As a 28-year-old widow, she was returning home without a single possession. All her mementos and private keepsakes were gone, her loved ones were dead, and her body was debilitated by exhaustion, starvation, malaria, beriberi, and dysentery.
For over four years, she had witnessed atrocities that can scarcely be described. Prisoners all around her had suffered horrible deaths, and she herself had seen the inside of death cells. During that time, not one letter or package had reached her.
As the boat carried her from her island prison, she prayed a bitter prayer: "Lord, I'll never come to these islands again. They've robbed me of everything that was most dear to me."
Suddenly she heard voices, Indonesian voices ringing from the distance. There on the shore were those who had come to know the Lord through her mission, raising their voices, singing: "God be with you till we meet again./ By His counsels guide, uphold you,/ With His sheep securely fold you;/ God be with you till we meet again."
Darlene later wrote in her autobiography, Evidence Not Seen; "This song released the waters of bitterness that had flooded my soul, and the hurt began to drain from me as my tears flowed in a steady stream. The healing had begun. I knew then that someday, God only knew when, I would come back to these my people and my island home."
"God Be With You Till We Meet Again," was written by Jeremiah Rankin, president of Howard University, the great African-American college in the nation's capital. He wrote it, he said, after discovering that the term "good-bye" meant "God be with you."
