HomeKeepers Journal- August 24

I decided to participate in a meme called  “A HomeKeeper’s Journal” Please visit Sylvia at Christian HomeKeeper Network, we are discussing Fall today.  Fall is my favorite season of the year and one that I can’t wait to get here, every single year. 

Autumn in my kitchen means ……. lots of baking both pies and breads, and  making soups.  I love making soups for those cool nights, they just say warmth.Lots of hot apple cider.  Also I will be planning our holiday get togethers and the menus.

Autumn in my home brings …….out all the fall decorations. It brings in the more subdue colors with the warm golds, browns, and reds. It brings out all the blankets for snuggling under while lounging around,whether reading or watching tv.

I bring Autumn indoors by ……..bringing nature indoors, branches, pinecones, leaves, and nuts are always displayed around the house.

A few favorite Autumn activities for my family are …….going to the harvest festivals, going to watch them make homemade apple butter over the open fire,visiting the local pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins and gourds for the season.

Two favorite Autumn recipes are …….my pumpkin cake, so moist and delicious, Deep Dish apple pie with chedder cheese slices on the side.

This Autumn I would like to ………entertain more, and share the many blessings that I have been given.  Show hospitality with a gift of grace, and maybe have a little treat for our guest to take home as a wonderful reminder of our time shared.

Homekeepers Journal-August 10

I decided to participate in a new meme called  “A HomeKeeper’s Journal” Please visit Sylvia at Christian HomeKeeper Network to read what others are struggling with this week.

This week’s Journal is about struggles and what we do when we find ourselves struggling.

I struggle in my kitchen with ….. lately it seems like everything.  How to plan and cook for just the two of us.  Since it is usually just me and the hubby, and sometimes it is only me, I struggle to find the right solution for our eating needs.  What do I cook and will it be just me, etc….

Struggles of any kind have a tendency to make me …… on edge.  Seems like when I struggle I lose sight of all the lessons I have learned in the past. 

I struggle more when ……. I am not focused or organized.

When it comes to people, I struggle ….. with dishonesty and trust.  I think for me, this comes from being lied too by loved ones that you thought would never do anything to harm you.    

When it comes to struggles, I believe the Lord wants me to know ….. that he is near.  He will never leave me, and he can get me through this.

Please join in the fun by linking up here.
