Turning a Weed into Something Delicious

"See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.

12 

Flowers appear on the earth;
  the season of singing has come,

the cooing of doves is heard in our land." 

 Song of Solomon 2:11-12

Today I would like to post a really fun and appealing recipe that my sister in law shared with us on how to make "honey" out of dandelions!

It's an awesome way to turn those dandelions in your yard into something delicious!

Pick dandelion flowers while in full bloom, remove petals.

Place the dandelion petals, the water, and the lemon slices in a pot, stir often.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, steep overnight.


The next day strain the liquid, lining a colander with a cheesecloth, or using a very fine colander.

Return the dandelion liquid to the pot, stir in the sugar, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1 to 2 hours until the "honey" darkens to an amber colour.

Pour it into small jars, close while hot.

Dandelion honey is great on toast, muffins, pancakes, biscuits, banana bread, and more! 
it also works great as a cough syrup.

Enjoy this delicious and 

nutritious treat!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Monday Greetings to you!

And Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms out there!! sorry it's a day late! 

The love and devotion of a mother is beyond understanding, it is a love that would be so hard to live without, 

but that we so often take for granted.

  

Let's remember to say this more than once a year!

 Mom: 

THANK YOU 

for your

 unconditional love.

Here's a Mother's Day song that I recorded:

It is dedicated, first of all, 

to the wonderful Mom God has blessed me with, 

to both of my Grandmas, whose lives I love and treasure,

and to the rest of moms that this world couldn't do without!

We Love You

 Calving Season!

April 17, Devotional

Dear readers,

As my 18th birthday approaches, the frightful thought of being an adult overwhelms me. The feeling, which I imagine is very similar to the seconds before jumping off an airplane with a parachute on your back, has crept over me. 

Am I ready?

During all my growing up years, I would often ask my Dad to tell me stories of the time when he was in the army. I remember how he would tell me about all the preparation and training that they went through before they took them at least 2,000 ft. above the ground to parachute down.
We go through a preparation in life as well, our parents faithfully teach us what we need to know. But when the day comes, our instructors will stay behind, and we will jump off alone...


Well, or maybe not completely alone. Because, throughout our training, we were taught to carry the most essential thing with us all the way: the parachute.

Without it we would be out of control, we would not be able to land smoothly, we would not survive.

Sooner or later the person will need to pull out the parachute....and yes, sooner rather than later!

Again, it is the same thing in our lives. It is impossible to make it on our own, we need Jesus Christ to accompany us in order to survive.
Let's not even dare to soar through life without the Lord, it will not end well, He is essential!

So as I stand on the edge, ready to jump, I will remind myself of the verse:

"Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10

And I ask...

Lord, hold my hand. Let's jump off together!

God Bless

Weekly Devotional

Dear Readers,

As we live our lives, we often forget that others are watching us, people are paying attention to our everyday lives, taking notice of every move we make. And we have the opportunity to plant seeds in hearts when sometimes we don't even notice.

As incapable as we might feel, God can use our lives to bless others, because if Jesus lives in us, God shines through us!

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

Matthew 5:16

God Bless
