Jazz up that butter baby

Orange-Honey Butter - Add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of honey and 2 tsp. of orange zest to a stick of softened butter.


Vanilla Butter - Stir in 1-2 tsp. of vanilla and 1 Tbsp. of powdered sugar to softened butter.


Berry Butter - Mix a few berries with 2-3 Tbsp. of powdered sugar into butter.


Cinnamon Butter - Add 2-3 Tbsp. sugar, 1-2 tsp. cinnamon and a small dash of vanilla to 2 sticks of softened butter. Use on bagels, pancakes, bread or even on baked sweet potatoes topped with some extra brown sugar.

I like using organic butter, and Olivina spread....great treat on toast, and I sometimes use the berry or cinnamon to soft cream cheese for an extra yummy treat.

Obedience or Independence?

If you love Me, keep My commandments." John 14:15

If I obey Jesus Christ, the redemption of God will flow through me to the lives of others, because behind the deed of obedience is the reality of Almighty God. As soon as I obey Him, I fullfill my spiritual destiny.
Obedience is a daily choice not something we are to feel. It is the choice to forgive when hurt , to love instead of hate, to stop judgeing when it's not our place , to use kind words instead of a dagger tongue, to give instead of take, to reach out when you want to walk away. Obedience is a choice you make with your free will. Is your Independence so important that you refuse yourself peace and freedom.
