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!

Where’s the Christmas Party?

Oh Christmas Tree!

5 Dec

‘Decorating the Christmas Tree

1. Start with a live Christmas tree and think about the tree that was used to crucify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2. Notice the trees wonderful fresh fragrance and aroma. Think about his precious anointing and presence in your life.
3. Place the tree in it’s stand and water it well to keep it nourished. This is what the blood does for us. If we stay saturated in his blood we are always nourished and refreshed. We will never fade or fall back.
4. As you wrap the tree in bright lights think about his power in your life and what you can do in him and what it was like in your life before you knew about his power. How many times did we struggle in ourselves to try to be “good” or to try to break free from chains that kept us bound? Thank God now all we do is rely on his power through the Holy Spirit and let him be God in us. He sets us free and places us in good standing with him.
5. Now as you take the time to examine the branches, think about the Lords loving arms around you. How many times has he picked you up and loved on you? His arms are always outstretched like the beautiful branches of the tree. As the tree’s branches hold treasured ornaments so does the Lord’s loving arms for he counts us as a precious ornament that he himself has fashioned.
6. Next, bring out the heirloom bulbs. These are usually ornaments that are safely tucked back into their boxes each year and when brought out you reminisce all of the past years that they were used. These ornaments are ornaments of grace. As you look back over your life and reminisce where you started, hopefully you can see how far the Lord has brought you and cry “GRACE!” God’s enabling ability on your inability to do what you could not do yourself. It was his wonderful unmerited favor that opened doors of safety for you and closed other doors that could have meant you harm.
7. Then of course there are those very special personal ornaments that you treasure. These ornaments are the testimonies of what the Lord has delivered you from and what he has delivered you to. Everyone of us have these special ornaments in our lives and only you and I can tell what God has done for us and do it justice. These ornaments stand out on the tree and attract attention and so do the testimonies of the saints, after all we overcome by them. Hopefully every year we add more and more of these personal ornaments or treasures on the tree.

8. Now it is time for the garland which is God’s mercy. We have all sinned and fallen short of his Glory, but thank the Lord you or I did not get what we deserved. Instead as the accuser bellows “Guilty!” We have a wonderful Savior that we have been hidden in who resounds the word “Mercy, Mercy!” all over heaven. We deserved his justice but have obtained his loving mercy! His mercies are renewed every morning which tells me that we cannot exhaust his glorious supply.
9. For the final decoration let’s place the beautiful shining star on the very top of the tree. The shining star represents God’s word or direction. His word should always be at the very forefront of our thinking. How do we do anything without first knowing what direction to start. His word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. The star pointed to Jesus and showed the Kings of the East where he was, and so does the star of his word. As you read through the pages every line and every passage points to Jesus, for the word is Jesus. He is the bright and morning star!
10. After the tree is decorated we place beautifully gift wrapped packages underneath. So are the fruits of the spirit beautifully wrapped in different packages. These fruits operate in our lives to help us win others to Jesus, but they also are given for our benefit and when yielded to will help us to live the abundant life that through Jesus was made available to us. Just as all of the beautifully gift wrapped packages have wonderful things inside, we also possess wonderful treasures inside placed there by the Lord himself. Jesus is the gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS

Nothing says “FALL” like Homemade Applebutter!

12 Oct

Because I was raised a little country girl in Kentucky, I have learned the value of a harvest.  There were Eight of us altogether sitting around my Momma’s table for three meals a day.  What labor my Mom put in each day to just prepare meals and to keep us all fed!  She taught each of us how to cook from scratch, but I remember all of the harvesting of our huge gardens each year and especially our fruit trees!  One of our favorite foods was my Mom’s homemade  applebutter.  There was nothing better to eat then a hot biscuit smothered in butter and lathered down with all of that fruity cinnamon applebutter goodness!  I could eat this for three meals  a day!  Well, my sweet Momma has gone to be with the Lord now, but she left me something that truly in this day is a lost art and such a gift.  I know how to cook from scratch, and make homemade Applebutter for my friends and my own family just like she had done!

Above is a picture of a quart of my applebutter! Not only is the contents delicious to eat, but it is beautiful in fall color and makes a gorgeous centerpiece for your table! Happy Fall Ya’ll!

Twist of Events!

25 Sep

Don’t you just love unexpected twist and turns!  Well let me put it a different way, don’t you just love it when life’s twist and turns works out for your good?  I have had such a turn recently and as a result of an unexpected encounter, I had one of the most amazing days!

A few weeks ago, I went to the Library to do a  book reading and signing event for my latest Juvenile Fiction book Caleb’s Cereal.  

To make a long story short,I met a sweet woman with two daughters.   The lady that I met was involved in a home school group of wonderful kids.  As we talked one thing led to another and I mentioned that I painted.  When I did, it opened up such a wonderful and amazing door for me that today, I walked through.  I went to her home school group and taught about twenty kids how to paint a sunflower…It was so much fun for me.   I go back to teach this original twenty again next week, and then another twenty students the following two weeks after that! Now how awesome is that?  Nothing but GOD!

I have taught painting to many adults, and was involved in women’s ministry for many years, but I love the newness of where the Lord has me now. What I find so amusing is that I’ve had to develop relationship with the  women before I found out if they are real or  pretend,  with children, you know right away where they are coming from.   I use to be so intimidated around children.  I have two children of my own, and believe me please, when I say to you that children are brutally honest.  If they don’t like something, they will let you know.  They don’t care how much planning you put into your little project or anything else, if they don’t like it and don’t want to do it, you can talk until your lips are numb and it will not change their minds!  I sort of like that! “True Honesty,” if I will handle it well, will only help me to be better!  So as  I “do it afraid” I will walk  into their classroom and pray that every child will enjoy learning what I have to offer them.   I am so excited!

All of my comfort in the familiar boat has left me! I have heard his voice bidding me to launch out into the unfamiliar deep. You may be saying, ” But how can you know if you’re hearing the right voice?”  My answer is simply that I would rather get out of the boat and risk sinking if I thought  I heard his voice, than to stay in the boat and always wonder, what would have happened if it was  his voice  bidding me to come and I didn’t obey?   I’ve missed the Lord many times, but what I have found is that every time I have stepped out whether I miss him or not, his mercy has always met me.  His grace was always present to enable me. Would you abandon your children when they have tried to please you?  How much more would our Heavenly Father be there for us?  I thank Him that His mercies are new every morning, and so here I am Lord bid me to come!
