Todays Great Quote......George Müller
God delights to increase the faith of his children. We ought,
instead of wanting no trials before victory, no exercise for
patience, to be willing to take them from God's hands as a
means. Trials, obstacles, difficulties, and sometimes defeats,
are the very food of faith.
-- George Müller
Hubby Found a Job
It has been very hard on us the past 2 months. DH lost he job of almost 20 years. He is not a young man and a job has been hard to find. He has one starting Monday. The pay is not much, no insurance to speak of, it is hundreds of miles from home ( I miss him already!) But it is a job. It will do until God sends something better!

THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES
This came in my inbox. Thought I would share it. HUGS!
He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe and
The Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is, and He always will be...
Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!
He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings Peace!
The world can't understand him,
The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him, and
The leaders can't ignore Him.
Herod couldn't kill Him,
The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, and
The people couldn't hold Him!
Nero couldn't crush Him,
Hitler couldn't silence Him,
The New Age can't replace Him, and
Donahue can't explain Him away!
He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.
His ways are right,
His word is eternal,
His will is unchanging, and
His mind is on me.
He is my Redeemer,
He is my Savior,
He is my guide, and
He is my peace!
He is my Joy,
He is my comfort,
He is my Lord, and
He rules my life!
I serve Him because His bond is love,
His burden is light, and
His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
The power of the powerful,
The ancient of days, the ruler of rulers,
The leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and
The sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come.
And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.
His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me,
Never forsake me,
Never mislead me,
Never forget me,
Never overlook me, and
Never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!
When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody, everywhere,
Every time, and every way.
He is God, He is faithful.
I am His, and He is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...
He said it and that settles it.
God is in control, I am on His side, and
That means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!

Apple Pie Filling
Apple Pie Filling
18 cups baking apples, peeled & sliced (about 6 lbs.)
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 cups brown sugar
1 cup cornstarch
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
8 cups water
In a large bowl mix the apples together with the lemon juice to keep
them from browning. Set aside. In a large pot combine brown sugar,
cornstarch, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Add water and bring to a boil
over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for two minutes. Add
apples (you may want to drain off some of the lemon juice, but I
think it adds a nice flavor) and return to a boil. Reduce heat,
cover and simmer until apples are tender, about 6-8 minutes. Have
your quart jars and lids hot and ready. Pack each jar with the
filling to ½ inch from the top. Screw down lids. Process in hot
water bath for 20 minutes. Makes about 5 quarts.
Our Apples are allllllllmost ready and I hope to make pie filling and applesauces, along with apple CHIPS in the dehydrator too!
Lovvvvvvvvve Fall!
Enjoy~

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. cinnamon and/or nutmeg
5-6 cups of Blackberries
1/4 cup Cornstarch
Start out with clean freshly picked Blackberries in a bowl, I sprinkle about a 1/4 C of cornstarch over the top and mix in, let it set. Grab another bowl and toss in all your other ingredients, using the tines of a fork, mix until crumbly. Pour your berries in a baking dish, oversized pie plate, etc., and sprinkle on your crumbly topping mixture, put into a pre-heated 350 degree oven, bake for 25 or so minutes and remove, cool and EAT. Mmmm!

2 teaspoons homemade vanilla or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large mixing bowl by hand or with a beater, cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy.
-
Then add 1 egg at a time, beating well till incorporated.
-
Alternating add the flour and milk stirring by hand with a wooden spoon.
-
Add the extracts and combine the cake batter till well blended.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips till incorporated evenly in the cake batter.
-
Carefully add the batter to the tube pan, smoothing the top to make sure it is even.
-
Bake till a tester comes out clean anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
-
Cool the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes then turn it out onto the rack to cool.
