Women of the Word

Today I'm praising God for the precious women He has placed in my life. It is during the many seasons of my walk with the Lord that they have given me such Godly wisdom. Reading God's word is very important but he also uses those people He has placed in our lives to lead, teach, and guide us in the smallest of life's situations.
So many times when I've been discouraged, tempted, and headed- in -the- wrong-direction, the door of FRIENDSHIP has opened with one of these precious women standing there to guide me through.
I only hope and pray that the Lord will often look down and see that He can use me to help others in a special way that only He can see. Many times we can't see how we have been any help to others but God knows our strengths better than we do. Now that my children are not so "little" any more I have more of an opportunity to reach out to others help.
My desire is to use God's precious Word as a guide for each and every day in all that I do. In order to put this into practice I must pray and ask my heavenly father for that strength and help each day.
Thank you Lord for all the special "Women of the Word" you have placed in my life!!
God is so Good!!

1 Peter 2:1-3

"Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious."

Saturday show and tell

Today's cake decorating class was fun and not quite so difficult as last week. With a little work, I think I will be making roses soon enough. Last week we all laughed because they kept falling off our little holder before we could get them made.

Today we made clowns and they are so cute.

The last picture is a new pocketbook I made. McCall's Pattern, quilted. Really quick and easy.

Chicken Casserole

Grandma's Chicken Casserole

I'm sure everyone has their own recipe for making chicken casserole but I think my mom's is the best. I thought I'd give it a try so I made a huge dish for our youth at church tonight.

6-8 pieces boiled chicken tenders, torn in small pieces
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 - 1 1/2 cans broth from chicken
Peppridge farm cornbread dressing mix
Cornbread - Optional

1. Mix the two cans of cream of chicken soup with 1 can of water, thin if needed. Add enough to a casserole dish to cover the bottom.
2. If you would like to add cornbread to the stuffing you can do so now. I usually don't prepare my cornbread ahead and don't take the time but it's delicious if you do add the cornbread.
3. Add a layer of dressing mix on top of this and then the chicken pieces.
4. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
Bake at 350 degrees about 30 - 40 minutes.
