Home late after a full Sunday out

House is dark.

Key turned in lock

Greeted by Coldness

Lights on

Easy flick of switch for heater’s warm glow
For others a more time consuming fire to be stoked

Proverbs, Proverbs 31, soup without the tin, Virtuous woman, grandparent time, quick soup mix, bulk cook, winter soup, skeleton leaves, abundant rain, Autumn leaves, winter apple tree, orange trumpet flower, blessings of warmth in winter

We are so blessed with manifold creature comforts

Home
It embraces us and whispers welcome
A much loved Haven

Proverbs, Proverbs 31, soup without the tin, Virtuous woman, grandparent time

What’s to eat

Know my fridge

Find cooked chopped vegetables and dry fried mince with onion

Proverbs, Proverbs 31, soup without the tin, Virtuous woman, grandparent time, quick soup mix, bulk cook

Into microwave bowl to heat
Add boiled water with stock powder and little gravy powder
Continue heating and boil a little
Blend partially with stick blender carefully due to hot liquid

Serve.
Savour and enjoy.
Comfort food.
Replete.

Proverbs, Proverbs 31, soup without the tin, Virtuous woman, grandparent time, quick soup mix, bulk cook, winter soup

Quick soup not from a tin.

Being prepared is a ….

Winner
Time saver
Sanity saver
Dollar saver

Boring for some
A necessity for others

A small thing for one
A momentous find for others
Practical for me

PROVERBS 31

Perfect ending to a Winter day

    This post gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling and made me wish for 2 things: to be settled in our new home, and to enjoy cooler temperatures. Lovely post with scriptural reference! :-)

      It is always nice to “see” you come by again Marian. Loved some of your old photos of your mother visiting the big city. Hoping that your move goes smoothly and you make new memories and discoveries.

    I love the way you have written this! It made me feel good. So warm and cosy – just how I like things. However, I wish it were cold or at least cooler here It’s still hot and humid BUT I must admit that it was actually cool this morning when I woke (for a little while). #TeamLovinLife
