~Fall Break~

We have had a wonderful fall break!! Did some sightseeing and relaxing. Spent a few days at the local Christian radio station helping out with the share-a-thon. Enjoyed visiting with everyone there. Our son had fun talking live on the radio with all the air personalities. He says he wants to be a DJ like his Mother.....LOL. YIKES!!! Not the career of my choice for him!! In the words of my husband "Pray, Pray without ceasing."

As I mention above that quote from my husband, I have been doing some praying and the Lord has been faithful in answering. We have added in water lines to our home construction project and I had been praying about the water heating going out so we could get a new one, as our well water is contaminated, I did not want the new water lines running through the old nasty water heater. But my husband did not see it as much of a problem, so I prayed about it. And the other day my husband came into the bedroom to announce "The water heater is leaking in the basement, I guess we will have to replace it!" LOL.....I laughed out loud and told him I had been praying, he shoots back with "Well you better start praying about how we are going to pay for a new one!"

Fast forward to today, I had been praying about getting an outside water spout for watering our animals and guess what? The contractor/plumber put one in! I grinned really big at my husband and told him I had been praying again!

Have a wonderful week!

Verse for the day

Christian homeschooling is a daily walk with Christ with your children at your side learning what it means to live out one's faith in a practical way.
Deuteronomy 6:7
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Have a wonderful week!

What is for dinner?

Frugal Beef Stew-Donna Rollison

 To get the recipe click on the title. If you look around on the site, please be mindful if you need to be GF/CF only look under the username Writermom77. If you are not gluten free then you can look all over the site for yummy recipes from other homepages.

This was really good!!! I think that the GF Worcestershire Sauce really made it tasty!!

I had some surplus canned goods too I did tweak it a bit :O)

Our local grocery had canned veggies on sale last month for .44¢ and I stocked up, so I added

2 cans of corn

2 cans of greenbeans

1 can of sliced mushrooms

1 can of rinsed Cannelli Beans (not sure how to spell those? They are by Progresso)

4 cups GF broth

Three of us ate on it for lunch, my guys loved it so much that I decided to make more right then and there. So I added 4 more cups of GF broth, another tablespoon of GF Worcestershire sauce and another batch of the above veggies & beans. So I have a HUGE pot of yummy soup instead of a stew!

This ended up being a blessing since my Dh informed me that a family from church had a need, so I plan on taking a container of this soup over there with some store bought dinner rolls.
