Meat Balls

This was a delicious meatball dinner I made for my husband when we were back on one of our first dates after Olivia was born.

It is a joy surprising my husband with healthy, meat-rich, flavourful recipes :)

Here is the recipe

FOR MEATBALLS

1 lb ground grass-fed beef
1 cup italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg
1 cup of milk (approximately)
2 tbsp Montreal Jack Seasoning
1 tbsp Lawrys seasoning

FOR SAUCE

2 large jars of homemade tomatoe sauce
1 can tomatoe paste
Itaian seasoning


Mix all ingredients together by hand and form little balls and put them in the sauce in the slow cooker for 3 hours on high.

In need of His daily touch

And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” Mark 5:34

I am in a constant need of my wonderful Savior Jesus! Without Him I am so helpless!
This morning in sunday school class my hubby talked about what it means to have Peace with God. Jesus encountered the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:21-33. After she touched him, Jesus told her to go in peace and be healed even though she had been healed the moment she touched Him. So why would he tell her to still be healed as she went?

I am grateful that all of us haven't arrived at perfections's level. All of us need to be touched in areas of our lives where we have not yet let the Lord take full control so He could touch, heal, correct and transform us into becoming more like Him.

He issued his command and healed them; he delivered them from their destruction.
Psalm 107:20

I am thankful to be on that journey with my brothers and sisters! Let us keep reaching out to our Lord as the woman did knowing he would answer and heal!

He is able to do above and beyond of what we can ask or think and He is continue to heal us!

Blessed to serve as queens of our homes*

"Thank God, O woman for the quietude of your home, that you are queen in it.
Men come at eventide to the home; but all day long you are there beautifying it, sanctifying it, adorning it and blessing it. Better be there than wearing a queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. It may be a very humble home. There may be no carpet on the floor. There may be no pictures on the wall. There may be no silks in the wardrobe; but, by your faith in God, and your cheerful demeanor, you may garniture that place with more splendor than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled." - Rev. T. De Witt Talmage

Amazed

Amazed at the new life that God has given my husband and me in our beautiful daughter Olivia,
I want to share some quotes (slightly modified) from a devotional book for new moms -

O Lord, you have examined my heart
and known everything about me.
You know when I sit down or when I stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I am far away.
Psalm 139:1-2

"When my [daughter] was handed to me for the first time, I feel the sudden dissonance of greeting a stranger I thought I knew before...On the one level it seems perfectly normal to have this little body that I have been carrying for nine month now sharing my personal space. In fact handing [her] to someone else feels like cutting off my arm... On another level [she] is a totally different person, wholly separate from me. [She] makes movements I don't anticipate... I am the only world [she] has ever known, but we are still a long way from really knowing each other. In the meantime I am grateful for what is strange to me about my [daughter] - or about me to [her] - is not strange to God. He knows my [daughters] personality and the paths [she] will choose."
