It Worked For Me Wednesday!

Angelica here.  Mom's not  feeling well, so I'm doing the It Worked For Me Wednesday. I'm going to highlight a recipe from my Pinterest.  A few days ago, I had a friend over and we really wanted some cookie dough.  So, we Googled and found this recipe.  Today, we decided to make it again, seeing as how it was so good. One recipe of chocolate chip and one of sugar cookie.

Philippians 3:20-21

But our citizenship is in heaven.  And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.  

Ever so often, I need to be reminded that what we see on this earth is not the end.  Whether in life or death, sickness or health, riches or poverty, no matter the situation, what we are experiencing here is only temporary.

Miracle had the opportunity to work at the Washington County fair this past summer.  She helped a friend of mine man the craft booth where local folks displayed their handiwork.  She had a ton of fun and was able to earn a little bit of money to spend at nationals, too.  She hopes to do it again this year.  

It Worked for Me! Wednesday - para cord storage

Earlier this fall, we went camping as a test run for a planned camping trip.  I was anticipating being in GA for most of the month of November camping as well.   In preparation for that, I searched on Pinterest for tips that would make camping easier.  One that I found was an easy way to store para-cord.  This works great! No more tangled cord!  Para-cord is a strong cord that has a multitude of uses.  It comes in a variety of colors.  I use a bright color for visibility.

Edited to add:

1. Find a plastic jar with a lid that the cord will fit into.  The jar you see was the second attempt since the first jar I tried was too small.
2. Drill a hole in the center of the lid. 
3. Poke cord through lid.
4. Screw on lid.

Simple as that.  Thanks, Autumn.  I hadn't realized I didn't list out the instructions. I was supervising the girls preparations for Thanksgiving dinner when I typed this out earlier and was a bit distracted.  :)

Philippians 1:6

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Yesterday we went to Penney's and had a family portrait made.  It is the first time in 9 years that we have had family pictures taken.  This was only made possible because JCP is having a special this month that allows each family to have their portrait taken, including sitting fees, gives them a free 8x10 of the favorite image, and a low resolution digital copy of that image.  All for free with no requirement to purchase anything. Additional sheets are available for $4.00 each and although I would really like some of the other photos taken, we will not be ordering any.
