After School Valentine’s Day Cookies

02/13/2013

Children will always remember coming home to the smell of cookies baking when they grow up. Memories like those are cherished and passed on for generations. These are as delicious as they smell. They ooze gooey yummy chocolate, if you don't bake them all the way. They're especially good to have ready on Valentine's Day when your kids come home from school. It's a h[...]

The Depth of Intimacy– Pure and Indescribable

02/12/2013

Intimacy. Hmm… After 32 years of marriage, I still blush talking about it! It is so private and sacred! No expression of human communion is deeper than that of a husband and wife making love. It borders on supernatural in expression. The sensory goes beyond flesh into spiritual depths that are indescribable. It took me a while to fully underst[...]

Valentine’s Day Breakfast

02/11/2013

For Valentine's Day Dale and I rarely give each other gifts. I've asked him not to give me flowers or buy me a card(we make our own). At this moment in life it's not in the budget. I don't need things to tell me he loves me.Instead we enjoy doing the simple things together, like having a candlelit breakfast or dinner at home. Making things you already have the [...]

Love Potion

02/05/2013

A lot of women who read The Good Wife Recipe assumed that marriage had always come easy for me. It hasn't always been easy. My dad left our family when I was young, so I lacked the example of a godly marriage. Being the oldest child, I was very independent. Those two factors added together equaled a negative value in my tendencies toward marriage. My [...]

The High Calling of Motherhood

01/25/2013

I’ll never forget that morning. I woke up and my spirit quickened within me that I had conceived a baby. An immortal soul was within my womb. I jumped out of bed without telling Dale because of course I needed confirmation. I went to the store as quick as I could, got a pregnancy test, and rushed back home. Within minutes it was confirmed what God had already r[...]

Love is As Strong as Death

01/16/2013

"Love is as strong as death. . ." Song of Solomon 8:6 True love is passionate, unquenchable, fiery and devoted at all cost. We galloped through an open field on our horses, then slowed to a trot and talked while riding side by side. Our conversation went from one level of glory to the next. It was heavenly. I had never told anyone the dreams of my heart, [...]

Car Stolen on New Years Day

01/08/2013

Our youngest daughter was on her way home New Year’s Day from Missouri. Her and her two friends stopped to take a photo at the St. Louis arch. Ellie decided she didn't want to get out for the photo because she had shorts on and it was freezing outside. At the last-minute she hopped out of the car and seconds later someone stole the car just 10 ft. from where they[...]

The Good Wife Recipe

01/01/2013

Being a good wife is a lot like being a good cook. Any cook using the same recipe and instructions can produce a dish that tastes entirely different from another. Why is this? Well, attention to detail distinguishes a great cook from an average one. Take fried apples for example… All that you need are apples, sugar, butter and cinnamon. But, not every c[...]

The Rich Home

12/05/2012

The Queen of Sheba was wealthy and beautiful. She had everything a queen could want - gold, silver, ivory, precious jewels and servants taking care of all her needs. Well, almost everything. She'd heard about the famous King Solomon (I Kings 10:1) and his miraculous God. Even though her people had many gods to worship, none intrigued her like the Lord God of[...]

Making Gingerbread Houses

11/30/2012

Years ago our family started the tradition of making gingerbread houses the day after Thanksgiving. We spend as much time laughing and talking as we do making the houses, it's so much fun. We made our own gingerbread one year, it was way to much work and we've also bought gingerbread kits--that was too much money. So, most years we use graham crackers, frosting and v[...]

Thanksgiving Day- Let’s Celebrate like the Pilgrims

11/20/2012

Our first semblance of Thanksgiving was in 1621 after the colonist first harvest at Plymouth. The Wampanoag Indians were invited to join the celebration with food as the colonist lifted their hands toward heaven and thanked God for His protection and provisions in their new country. The pilgrims invited people outside of their own tribe and were not ashamed to make [...]

11/19/2012

Yesterday I was experimenting with my iPhone and accidentally sent photo's to my blog post and they posted! I didn't mean to post them. I've still got a lot to learn with on my iPhone! Sorry about that! This weekend was busy cooking and decorating for Thanksgiving, visiting with family/ friends and doing farm work. [...]
