APRIL 2024

 

 

DEAR

Ladies

of SECRET SISTERS

Look at this!!  Spring is here and we can breathe warm air,  smoke-free hopefully for a while this year.  Valerie saw her first dandylion  and my crocuses have been up for a while now, Glenda has been doing her gardening,  Nadeen goes out every afternoon in the sun with her children, and the rest of you will have to let us know what are the firsts you have been doing or seen.

We are going to be very busy people again in the garden.  I am thinking i can plant peas anytime!!!

This month I would like to challenge  you along with me and that is to write a letter to your secret sister and your extra person instead of a gift.  Write! and include tags or bookmarks or any other little thing you can think of..paperclips....no gifts.  include a story, poem, or anything, i am just putting out some ideas here, or newspaper clippings that tell a story or something to put in a photo album.  See what you can come up with to put in an envelope!!!  GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY IMAGINATION!!!

I hope you all take pictures and  show us!!!  would be fun to see

 

A RECIPE: 

       Here is a soup that I just love.  It is so easy to put together.  I have made it once and will do it again.  Click on the link here  if you dont like beets use another vegetable or just eat it with toast or plain.  I change a recipe around so much it is not the original but again it gives you an idea to experiment with what you have at home but using the main ingredient.  BUT ENJOY!!!

 

FOR THIS MONTH 

also here is the last  Joy Dare;  i love these, when i am too tired and cant think of what to put in my journal  i look at this and write them out. 

INSPIRATION:

    Ladies!,  Do you remember those little books that say I have learned.......etc,    this is what I  have discovered at different stages in my life, that we are built in layers of maturity and at each layer we are able to add that wisdom to our years.  I am learning that transparency or honesty in communication is important because God sees and knows, it makes it easier to teach someone else what we have learned, so they can grow intellectually.  He knows our life whatever stage we are in.  How does life not be repetitive in some areas?  Only by this in that we are willing change and the end can be seen.  Does it make sense???????     God can and will be our glory.  Even in our weakness He can still be there for you!!

Zechariah 2:5

And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,' declares the LORD, 'and I will be the glory within.'  

'note: i see i posted this picture on last month too, but i am going to leave it because I love the comfort that it represents.

THE GOD WHO SEES  LINK

God, our Creator is the most important  Being in our lives and He with the Spirit will be with you just like the Ring of Fire as the verse in the picture says.  There can be no bad thing that is associated with Him only in the case where we disobey and even then He is long suffering and we will be given alternatives for correction.  He is amazing this God.  Every day bring Him your burdens-the good and bad to Him, and He will find a way for you to go.

I wish each one of you to have a wonderful month in April,  and a Happy Birthday to all those who have birthdays this month. 

CRAFT

here is something  easy you can do for a craft, just simply find a bird on the internet/pinterest trace it out, cut it from the drawing and insert it on an outlet.  I had a crow out of black paper for years until it got old need to make another one!!!!

 

Lots of prayers and friendship
