The God Of All Creation

When we look the world around us with an eye to the Creator God, we can't help but stand in awe. It is impossible that the perfection of every detail could have happened with a bang or a microbe. All we have to do is adjust our focus and zoom in on the little things God has made.

The Spirit of God moved across the waters, ready to begin His creation.

With just a word, He brought light into being.

Our Lord made a special place in the firmament called Heaven.

He separated land from water as a home for the rest of His workmanship.

Each blade of grass was lovingly shaped and placed in the ground. Herbs and seeds and trees were planted and encouraged to grow in abundance.

The sun that wakes us up in the morning was placed in its rotation by the God of Light.

In the dark of night, God gives us the moon.

Imagine His joy as He began to fill the waters with creatures and the air with birds. These are just a glimpse of His creative nature.

Soon the earth was covered with beasts of every shape and size.

And then came God's pure and utter delight - a man and a woman. With these beautiful creations, the Lord would have fellowship and relationship with His creation in a way He never had before. It would be different with humans than it was with the earth or the animals. He had given them minds and hearts that would be tuned into Him, and Him alone.

As you go about your day, take a few minutes to notice the little things God has created around you. Look closely at a butterfly's wings. Examine the leaves on a tree as they change colors. Look into your pet's eyes. Hug your friends and family. Then praise the Lord for creating the most wonderful world imaginable.

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
