Menu Planning Made Easy

I 

I learned about eMeals by listening to the Dave Ramsey Show several years ago. At the time I rarely cooked at home as my job provided my meals. Fast forward my life three years, and I am married with a husband, who gets home around 11 pm and likes to eat dinner with his wife. I was bogged down making large meals that would last a couple of days, buying extra food 'just in case,' and throwing away a lot of produce that was going bad before I could use it. I wasn't very creative and found my meals to be boring. My wonderful husband never complained and always told me he loved my cooking, but I knew I needed HELP. So with his blessing I signed up for eMeals.

Jane DeLaney founded eMeals in 2003. She and her sister, Jenny Cochran, developed a plan to provide a simple and affordable dinnertime solution for families everywhere.  Thousands of families are sitting down to dinner and enjoying delicious meals due to these entrepreneurs..

You pick a plan and the store you shop at, and every week you will receive a new 7 meal menu and grocery list by email or you can download them from the website. Plans include regular, vegetarian, gluten free, low carb, low fat, natural & organic, and portion control. All the work is done for you, and it costs as little as $5 a month!

The menu includes each meal, the ingredients, and the cooking instructions. The grocery list has your items listed by aisle in your grocery store, has the number of the meal next to each ingredient, the price, and extra space for any additional items you might need. You can view more details by clicking on the link below.

 

.I have been using eMeals for two months, and I absolutely love it. The meals are delicious, and at times I feel like a gourmet cook. My husband is enjoying the different variety of foods and the freshness of each meal. I save money, use all the produce in the refrigerator, and enjoy cooking more than ever.

There are some graphic images in this video; nothing inappropriate, just stirring.

Are you aware of what is happening in The United States of America?

Things are only getting worse. Now we have those stating we should accept after-birth abortions.

Wife...Are You Truly Submitting to Your Husband?

"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing."  
Ephesians 5:22-24

"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord." Colossians 3:18

"Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear."  
I Peter 3:1-2
************************************************************************************************************
When I was single, I knew that once I married I would take my husband's convictions as my own. What my husband decided would be my decision as well. As I got to know the man I would marry, I asked him innumerable questions. I wanted to make sure I was willing to submit to this man. I have now been married a little over a year, and I am so thankful for my wonderful husband.

What happens once your married, and your husband makes a decision for himself, you, or your family, and you don't agree with it? What if his decision goes against your convictions or opinions? What if your husband is clearly in the wrong? The Bible is quite clear on this topic. As a wife you must change your opinion to your husband's opinion.Your husband is responsible to God (not you) for the decisions he makes for your family. You are responsible to God (not your husband) for how you submit and reverence your husband.

What an amazing example we have in Sarah, Abraham's wife. Abraham takes his wife to Egypt and Gerar and tells her that if anyone asks her, she is to say that Abraham is her brother. In other words Abraham tells Sarah to lie. In both cases Sarah obeys her husband, and God protects her. "Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement." I Peter 3:6 

There is another angle we need to look at. Do you submit to your husband, but you don't agree with him, and you let everyone know about it? Do you submit to your husband but allow bitterness to grow in your heart towards him, because you believe he made the wrong decision? You are not submitting to your husband in these cases, and God is holding you accountable.

Here are a few ideas to trigger your memory:

• how you dress
• birth control
• number of children
• work out of the home
• stay at home mother
• free time
• breastfeeding your children
• bottle feeding your children
• television
• going to the movies
• movies at home
• friends
• family
• finances
• spending
• purchases
• music

 

Danny Orlis

I grew up reading Danny Orlis books, but I hadn't read one of his books in years. Two days ago I pulled "Danny and Ron Orlis in the Sacred Cave" off my bookshelf and started reading as I was bored. I figured the book would be sort of boring as it is written for a younger age group, but I was surprised. I couldn't put the book down once I started it. I was literally on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen on the next page. I highly recommend this book for children, young adults, and adults. It has a clear Gospel presentation and is a very clean book.

God's Been Good

This is the motto for our family. No matter what we have been through or what we will go through in the future, we can always say, "God's Been Good!" We do not have to understand why; we just need to trust God.

Listen to God's Been Good

Courageous

I recently viewed Courageous, and all I could say is "Wow!" Here is my review.

1.  It has a clear presentation of the Gospel.
2.  The message to fathers is powerful. Every father and every boy or man, who would like to be a father some day, should watch this movie.
3.  This movie has many teachable moments for parents to talk to their children.

Some might say this movie is just for fathers, but I disagree. It is action packed, has a great story, and will be enjoyed by all, who view it. So go rent or buy it, bring it home, and view it with your family. Just a side note, have lots of tissues near you!
