From Ann Where Does Time Go?

In just three more days I will celebrate my sixty eighth birthday.

I really am not sure where all the years went. I am not even sure who that gray haired woman in the mirror is.

What I am sure of is that I have three daughters, seven grandchildren and five great grands; with number six great grand due in March of 2015.

Just look at what we started Heinz! lol

Merry Christmas 2014

Inspirational

Philippians 4:6 - 7

⁶ Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

⁷ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I think it is very hard to always remember that God has a plan for our lives. It is harder still to find a place of quiet where we can allow ourselves to listen to that still voice from God.

If we become quiet and listen then the comfort and peace from God will fill our hearts, our lives; then spill over to those around us.

I praise God, and Jesus the Savior for sending the Holy Ghost to fill my heart and soul. Without that comfort and peace from The Lord, my life would be a much more desolate place.

Recipe Homemade Doughnuts

 Basic Doughnut Recipe – Can be Used in Miniature Doughnut Maker

1 cup flour                                            1/2 cup sugar,

1 tbsp baking powder                           1/2 cup milk

1 egg                                                    1/2 tsp vanilla

4 tablespoons cooking oil

— mix dry ingredients together.

Add egg, vanilla and milk and beat 1 minute with electric mixer

– add oil and continue to beat for 1 minute more.

This is all of the recipe as it appears in Ms Alberta's notes. My granddaughter, Kaylee Michelle, and I used it to make donuts in her Miniature Doughnut Maker. I have also dropped them into a hot oil kettle for cooking, then dusted them with powdered sugar and/or cinnamon and sugar mix. They are good either way.

When I use this recipe I wonder when and how she acquired the recipe. Was it one she made up on her own? Or was it one from someone else?

Let me encourage anyone who loves to cook to give credit where due for recipes, where, when and from whom they came. There may come a time you will wonder and not remember.

Quote from Billy Graham

“It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, 


     God's job to judge 


         and my job to love.” 


            - Billy Graham



I think it should be all of our jobs - to love one 

another, without judgment.  Life is too short 

for hatred and judgement. Hate the sin, love 

the sinner. This is my concept of what the 

Bible teaches.

Recipe Bread in a Coffee Can - Submitted by Cousin Beckie Wilson from MyFridgeFood.com

Beckie Wilson shared MyFridgeFood.com's photo.   

Bake your bread in a Coffee Can - great for sandwiches (with the crust already cut off lol), also if you need to bake multiple loaves at once 

Procedure - make your bread dough (simple recipe below if you don't already have one) GREASE the coffee can and only fill it HALF way if you're making a bread with yeast in it.... had a really hard "forehead slap" over that one lol. Put the lid on and let it rise until the lids pop off. Then bake!
