A Thanksgiving Devotional

Image
My cousin writes these great devotionals and I wanted to share with you all.  Hope you had a wonderful and Bless Thanksgiving with your family.        "Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. (‭Psalms‬ ‭100‬:‭4‬ NLT)"   As we celebrate everything that we are thankful for let's continue beyond this day. The ability to breath, speak, see, feel, touch, jump...all of these things, and more, is something to praise God for. And I know this is probably a message that all have heard before, but to me it is important to be thankful daily. Even in the little things. When you wake up in the morning just say "good morning God, and thank You Lord!"  Practice here what it will be like there every day. Can you imagine if all of us lived with that mindset? The bible says in everything give praise! So why not do that?  So this thanksgiving let's make a resolution to be more intentional ab

*Please share info on this amazing local organization helping Wash., DC teens.   THANKS TO YOU NEW THINGS ARE HAPPENING   REACHING A WORLD OF KIDS IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL Christopher Chiles, Area Director (also pictured - wife Jamia and son JC) THE NEW BEGINNING       Good Day! It is a fresh beginning here in Southeast DC and if you are receiving this newsletter it is because at some point in time the Lord moved upon your heart to give and sow into the lives of teens in Southeast DC through the efforts of Young Life. I want to take this moment to thank you and to let you know that I praise the Lord for you. We have been able to witness the Lord do some incredible things. However, we have not done a great job with sharing those things with you. For that I would like to apologize and also seek your forgiveness.

Soup Please! :-)

Image
Warm up for the Fall and Winter Season with soups......... A few practical notes: All of these recipes serve four, and you’ll want about a 2.5-to-4-quart (medium or large) pot. Most can be cooked for a while — but not so long that the freshness is gone. Most will taste as good or better the next day, so consider making a double batch and refrigerating (or freezing) the leftovers. But never boil a soup after you’ve added dairy to it; instead, reheat gently. If you want a supersmooth soup (and just about any of these soups can be puréed if you like), use a standing blender — let the soup cool a bit first — which creates a finer purée than an immersion blender does; you might even strain the soup after puréeing it. Garnishes are all optional, though herbs add a dimension that will be lacking otherwise. If you taste as you’re cooking, you’ll be fine, because there is really nothing to go wrong here. 1. CREAMY Creamy Spinach Soup Put 1 chopped onion, 2 peel

Devotional----Choices

Image
This is a great think on it Devotional by my beautiful cousin. Devotional: Choices Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matthew 7:13-14         What does this scripture mean to you? Look at it closely. God is giving us choices. Two doors, two ways, two destinations. This scripture was writing after what most know as the Sermon on the Mount. In translation, the scripture is telling us to make up our minds.  What in your life do you need to make up your mind about? There are decisions that need to be made that are lingering and need to be address? What are you waiting for? I ask myself the same questions and I am prayerful that God will direct me and you in making the right choices.  Have a great week Ladies, Charisse Swann       As Always, Be Blessed :-} Ny

How to Use Parsley for Dark Circles Under the Eyes

Image
How to Use Parsley for Dark Circles Under the Eyes Dark circles under the eyes and not a great thing to wake up to in the mirror in the morning but parsley can help. Most people have some discoloration of the delicate skin under their eyes to varying degrees, particularly after a big night out. But for many of us this is a more persistent problem. There are many potential causes of dark circles under the eyes. While some people may have a genetic disposition, more commonly they are caused by lack of sleep, stress, eating unhealthy junk food, excess alcohol, menstruation for women, smoking, sinusitis and poor circulation to this area of the face. Crushed parsley for dark circles under the eyes is a simple remedy you can make at home. There are several nutrients in parsley such as vitamin C, chlorophyll, vitamin K and various volatile oils that may be responsible for its skin lightening and puffiness reducing qualities. But it’s also likely to be a combination of the many other a
