OTHERS..........GIVE A BASKET OF MUFFINS
Do you ever have days when nothing seems to be going right? Weeks? Months? I have had those days. Life seems to travail one after another. The days bring rain. The fridge looks unappealing. Your plants are dying. Your dr. says your health is not good. Your hair turned out too flat or too curly. Your trip was cancelled. Your husband had to work on your date night.
Your friend was unkind. Your diet came and went again. Your bank account surprised you.
Your dog ate your favorite book. Your team lost. You think no one cares..............
These are just a few of things I and others have experienced over the years. It seems that your problem is overbearing and you think to yourself what am I going to do?
My pastor told of a woman once that said she had just "had it" with her life and she was about to break down. He listened and then simply advised her to "go do something for someone else".
She did that very thing and ended up cancelling her "break down".
Its hard to be in the midst of "troubles" and still give. But...........its a good thing to do. When we "give"; we get our minds off ourselves and on to others!
We must fill our lives with "good things" and be in our Bible and keep our hearts close to Him.
But even when we "don't FEEL" like we are all those things we need to continue to "give to others".
There are so many people that hurt; are sick or need encouragement. We just need to reach out. Find someone to "bless this month" and as you give it shall be given back to you".
In July , the blueberry farms are bursting forth with blueberry's. Here is a little muffin recipe for you:
Blueberry Muffins
3/4 C butter
1 c sugar
3/4 c milk

Mrs. Musser,
I have missed reading you blog! With moving, our trip west, moving in with Dad, and now house hunting along with furniture/appliance hunting...I am wore out! :) I hope to keep updated with your family now that I have a few moments to breathe! LOL! We miss you and your family but not northwest Indiana! One of my favorite things...mountains! Take care! -Rebekah
Thanks for giving us your blueberry muffin recipe. Blueberry & banana nut are my favorite type of muffins. By the way, where is the best place to pick blueberries around here?
