Pouring out the water of satisfaction

He would not drink it, but poured it out to the Lord —2 Samuel 23:16

How can I pour out "to the Lord" natural love and spiritual blessings? There is only one way— I must make a determination in my mind to do so. There are certain things other people do that could never be received by someone who does not know God, because it is humanly impossible to repay them. As soon as I realize that something is too wonderful for me, that I am not worthy to receive it, and that it is not meant for a human being at all, I must pour it out "to the Lord." Then these very things that have come to me will be poured out as "rivers of living water" all around me ( John 7:38 ). And until I pour these things out to God, they actually endanger those I love, as well as myself, because they will be turned into lust. Yes, we can be lustful in things that are not sordid and vile. Even love must be transformed by being poured out "to the Lord."

In honor of my Mother's memory

April 20, 1942 - January 21, 2001 My cooking has been inspired by my mother. My mother cooked everyday, she always knew what she was going to cook before hand. Everything my mother cooked was homemade, never from the box unless you count a box of Duncan Hines Brownie mix. Well lets just say, her food was so good our friends in the neighborhood hung out at our house alot. Even my mother's sister's would stroll by just to see what their big sister was cooking. I remember family that lived near by, would come by on foot just to get a taste of my mother's food. I must say, my mother was a great cook, and I learned by watching her. My mother never measured, nor do I. Many have asked me to start a food blog, well here it is my first. I'm new at this, and plan to inhance my blog as time all...

Our Family Trip To Garner State Park

Took a one day trip up to Garner State Park in Concan, Texas this past Saturday. The trip was awesome, the scenery was breath taking! My family and I took a Saturday drive on the country roads of Texas and had a nice time. We always travel with an ice chest with ice packs because of the awesome meat markets we come across while traveling through these small country towns. Can't wait to do this again, next time we will head out to Las Maples, Texas. Enjoy the photo's!
