What's New!!

Happy Friday!  Well, I'm happy to say that hurricane Irene didn't carry us away! Yay!

I hope the folks up state get to say the same thing!  The one good thing it brought was a relief from the humidity and some cool breezes!

So, what have you been up too since my last post?  Well, for me I"ve been busy creating in my studio again!  Here's what's new!

Fun Weekend Recipes!

Each month in my Sunshine Farm Girl Co-op newsletter you will find great recipes that are yummy and nutritious!  We also added a blog to the co-op for all the happenings of the co-op, farm girl etsy team and more!

This recipe is for Ice Cream in your home ice cream machine!
 
I altered the recipe to make it healthy and fun!
 
I have a new machine that you just freeze the canister and then add your ingredients to it and turn it on and you have soft serve ice cream in an hour!
 
But, this recipe will work for any type of machine you have.
 
Ingredients you'll need:
1/2 gallon of chilled unsweetened coconut milk (organic)
1 can of chilled seltzer water flavored or unflavored
1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of organic agave or xylitol
2 tsp. Watkins natural extracts flavor of your choice available on my website
 
In a bowl add your milk and agave and Watkins extract and stir until blended.
 
Add your can of seltzer water first to the machine, next fill it the rest of the way with your coconut milk mixture. Turn on machine according to directions.  Will make soft serve ice cream. Ready to eat. Left overs can be frozen in a freezer safe container. The harder it gets it will form a sandy coating. This does not harm the ice cream. Taste just as yummy as it was soft serve.  Enjoy!
 
Happy Eating,
Marsha

Scripture of the Day!

Matthew 6:9, 10- "Our Father in the heavens, let you name be sanctified. Let you kingdom come, let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

Do you know this prayer that Jesus taught his followers to pray for?  Have you ever taken it bit by bit and really thought about what you are asking for?  What does it mean to let God's name by sanctified?  It means to let his name be known throughout all the earth. Do you know what God's name is?  Few Bibles still have the divine name in it. You will find it over 7,000 times in the Bible.  It is not a name to hide from it is a name to use if we are to be saved.

Psalms 83:18, "That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth."

 Exodus 6:2, 3 - "And God went on to speak to Moses and to say to him: "I am Jehovah"....these are the most common places to find it still in some Bible versions.

Next, we pray for God's kingdom to come and his will to be done here on the earth as it is in heaven.  What did that kingdom do in heaven that it will soon do to the earth?  The answer is found in Revelation 12:7-9 "And war broke out in heaven: Michael (Jesus) and his angels battled with the dragon (Satan), and the dragon and its angels battled but it did not prevail, neither was place found for them any longer in heaven. So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the on called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth;

Soon there will be a war here on the earth that Jesus will also be leader of and he will cleans the earth of Satan and all his followers just as he did in heaven. 

That is a time to be happy about and rejoice!  Do not let the current world condidtions make you down-hearted, instead lift up your head, because all those who call on the name of Jehovah will be saved! Romans 10:13 "For everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved."

There is more to being saved then just calling on God's name. To find out what that is, just drop me a line and I'll be happy to discuss it further!

Blessings to you,

Marsha
