Suzy Homemakers At it Again! My Recipes for Homemade Fabric Softner!

15 Apr

Homemade with Vinegar 002

DISCLAIMER< THIS IS WHAT WORKS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD< I AM MAKING NO PROMISES< AM NOT PAID TO SELL PRODUCTS OR ANYTHING ELSE, THIS IS MEANT ONLY TO GIVE OPTION AND IS MERELY A RECCOMMENDATION BASED ON WHAT I LIKE! 

Yay, So very Simple and Absolutely Wonderful!

  1. Recipe for Homemade Fabric Softner Using Essential Oils sorta of all Natural which I like!

Pour White Distilled Vinegar in an empty 2 liter bottle

Add  as much Pure Essential Oils as you wish of any scent that you wish.

I actually added about 5 drops of pure Essential Lavendar Oil which scented it more than enough

for our family.

I then shook it up to evenly mix it.

Pour 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup into each load on the rinse cycle…

Your clothes will come out feeling so soft and will be static free!

The Natural recipe  works wonderfully by itself, however there is another option!

  depending on how organic or natural  you want to go!

Homemade with Vinegar 001 Conditioner

2. Recipe for Fabric Softner using White Vinegar and Hair Conditioner

The first time I even made Homemade Fabric Softener using White Vinegar this was the recipe I used!

6 cups white vinegar

1 bottle of hair conditioner, whatever fragrance you love

4 cups of water

Mix all the ingredients together, again I use a recycled 2 liter bottle and shake before each use.

I use approximately 1/2 cup in rinse cycle  and clothes smell great and are soft. The conditioner

will settle to the bottom or float to the top, so the fabric softener has to be shaken with each use.

Dreaming with GOD

29 Jan

You are never too old

Dreaming with GOD may sound like a wild notion for some of you, for others it makes perfect sense.
My Pastor has been teaching on dreaming with GOD or really seeing yourself as GOD sees you. Dreaming with GOD, also means that you have what GOD wants to get to you. Why? The answer is so that only GOD can get glory out of your life and your life’s purpose will be fulfilled the way that GOD planned for you.
So many times we see ourselves in the light of how we grew up, what our parents said we were, or maybe how our friends
saw us, or our teachers etc. Unfortunely, our images of ourselves are usually so distorted that when the
Lord begins to show us a different image on the inside we have a difficult time seeing past what others told us that we were.

When I first became a Christian I was going to a very “traditional church.” By traditional, I mean it was the Bible belt south that
preached that hell was hot and if you didn’t walk the line that it (hell) would be your eternal home. Don’t get me wrong I do believe that
the wages of sin is death because the scripture states if you sow to the flesh you will of the flesh reap coruption, however the scripture also
says that we can sow to the Spirit and of the Spirit we reap eternal life. When? When do we recieve or reap eternal life? Many would say when we
get to Heaven, but according to scripture that is not true. The minute we are born again we crossed over from death unto life. We became the
sons and daughters of GOD; He adopted us into his family. So, if we have become His children, do we not have access to what Jesus
died to give us when we accepted what he did for us? We have eternal life the minute we accept Jesus. Yes there is an eternal everlasting life “in the sweet by and by”, but we don’t have to wait it is ours now!

Dreaming with GOD usually begins with simple desires. The scripture states in Proverbs that if we keep our eyes stayed upon him we will have the
desires of our heart. The scripture also states that a desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul! I believe the scripture in Jeremiah 29:11 I know the toughts I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. I love this scripture because it shows us that the Lord already has a wonderful plan for our lives, so what are we waiting for? The scripture also says he does exceedingly, abundantly, more than we can ask or think. Have you ever
just thought or imagined how much that is…if you have then you are Dreaming with GOD!

Dreaming with GOD is not some mystical thing, it is simply thinking and meditating upon what he has done for us and what he says is ours now that we have come into a heavenly kingdom. Jesus taught his desciples to pray Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thine Kingdom come thy will be done.
Where? On earth as it is in heaven.. What is available in heaven? Everything, everything that we could possibly imagine or hope for, right? He has made it available to us through Jesus’ death and ressurrection, we are not orphans who have nothing, NO, we are Kings Kids and we have a Kingdom that we can access by faith…! How exciting to know that what things soever you desire when you pray you shall have them! The limits are off!

The dreams that the Lord has given me persoanlly are things that I cannot fulfill without him! He wants to co-labor with me to fulfill his purposes in our lives. If I could have done everything on my own then I would not have had need for a Savior! But, I can do nothing unless I am connected to the vine. The vine is Jesus, He is my lifeline! He is my door to the Kingdom, he is the only door to the Kingdom! Dreams fulfilled by GOD only come by faith…All of what the Father has for me can only be obtained by faith in what Jesus has made available to me. The Bible says that hope deferred maketh the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul! It gives our Father great pleasure to give his Kingdom to his children…Won’t you begin dreaming with GOD today and let him
cause your dreams become reality!

I wanted to encourage you that its never too late, you are never too old to dream.  If you have dreamed a dream and it did not come when or how you thought it should have, dream again.  Don’t quit until you see your desires come!  Get up and walk toward that thing whatever it may be, just don’t quit!

Precious Moments

5 Aug

I grew up a little farm girl in Kentucky.  I was very innocent and niave about much of what was in the world, and still am I suppose about a lot of things.  When I was a child, of course, my parents sheltered me from “the bad things in life” but now that I am older and have a family of my own,  I guess sometimes I still choose to be niave.  However, there are times when  you can’t protect yourself from bad things that happen.  The Bible says it rains on the just and the unjust.  People tend to get mad at GOD when bad things happen, especially if they really do not know him,  but are happy as larks with him as long as they feel that  God is blessing them everyday.  The scripture says in John 10:10-11 That the thief cometh not but for to steal, kill, and destroy, but that I come to give you life and life more abundantly.  Every good and perfect gift comes from GOD.  So ask yourself if what is happening to you is good?  If it is not, then look to God to either protect you from it or protect you through it.  He has walked my family through some crazy events this year!

 I will not spill all of everything that has gone wrong this year, but let me say for the Glory of God, that the Lord has turned most of it around for our good as his word promises he would!  I had not blogged much recently because my husband had been ill.  He went into the hospital and spent time in ICU and finally in a regular room where he stayed for 10 days.  Needless to say when things such as sickness hits a member of your family, you suddenly get a new prospective on what is important and what isn’t. I thank GOD that my husband is doing much better!  I know  many people  go about their lives acting as though they will live forever, but the Bible says our lives on earth are but a vapor.  This blog is in no way intended to spread doom and gloom, but honestly is meant to share just the opposite.   I just wanted to remind us all that everyday is a precious gift, even when it comes with things that we did not expect.   I choose to live life by faith, knowing that for me, God is my source of all that I may need or desire.  I am a firm believer that nothing touches my life or my family’s lives that has not been filtered through the Lord first! I don’t always understand why bad things happen nor can I offer reasoning for them, but this I do know….. Life is Precious, cherish the moments and make them count as they zoom by way to quickly!

Today is a day of Opportunity!  God’s favor is always allowing us favorable junctures and circumstances.  With him there is alway a good chance for advancement or progress!

We must always look for the opportunities that present themselves each day.  I am excited to know that every new day provides a new opportunity for something exciting to happen.  His grace is renewed every morning, so what are we waiting for let’s take advantage of a new day and go for it!

Don’t You Remember?

24 Feb

Well, here I am sitting in a place of such restoration that I am in Awe of what the Lord has done for us! I guess the thing that keeps coming back to me is the fact that the Lord has continued to be so faithful to us even in times when we were a little shaky. We didn’t know how he was going to do what we were asking of him, but just kept holding on to the fact that the Lord has been faithful to his word to us in the past!

Our Pastor preached a message this past Sunday that absolutely stirred my heart.  The message was basically this: “Miracles erase  options for the believer!”  What he preached on was the fact that once the Lord performs a miracle in your life, that it is something that is concreted into your spirit.  You are never the same, and hopefully as Pastor preached “You will remember!”  You will remember the miracle when the next trail comes or the next obstacle comes, because if the Lord did it once for you, he’ll do it again….Always!  That settles it…. There is no changing in God, he is the same yesterday, today and forever.  What he has done, he will do again…

My husband and I are living proof of the miracle-working power of the Lord, for as I began writing down today all the miracles that the Lord has performed for me, I became so overwhelmed, for it’s our nature sometimes to forget, but if you will take the time to REMEMBER, Oh what a faith builder it is.   It could be the very thing you need that will thrust you forward like a catapult and land you right into the miracle that your believing the Lord for right now!
