"GOD LOVETH A CHEERFUL GIVER"
by Margaret Cagle


Some Christians give for others to see.
They think, "I'm a big giver; just look at me!"
Others will grudgingly tithe their money,
But not one cent over ten percent, Honey!


Some Christians will give while silently crying.
"I might need this money," they may be sighing.
A hand may be trembling as it writes a check.
Giving may make some people a nervous wreck!


Did you ever hear laughter as the plate was passed?
Did you ever see wide smiles as envelopes were cast?
I've never seen Christians bubble with cheer
As they give an offering to Jesus without fear.


God really loves a cheerful giver, I know
Because the Scripture tells me so.
Don't give out of fear; just give out of love,
And you'll please your Heavenly Father above.

God Bless,

con't Start a Pantry to Save Time and Money Pt. 2

Money will only be wasted if you purchase items no one eats and extra time will be taken with cleaning out all of the unused items. Each household is in a different stage of life and their items will reflect those differences.


For example, those families with young children might want to start a pantry with cold cereal, diapers, wipes, pretzels, crackers, and canned ravioli in their storage area. Homemakers who are dedicated to baking and creating meals from scratch might have plenty of flour, sugar, baking powder, chocolate chips, dried buttermilk, and oatmeal on their shelves.

Couples who are retired typically don’t eat large meals three times a day and they tend to eat out a bit more often, so their items might be limited to snack foods and a few items on hand in the event that guests arrive unexpectedly.

Organization is key to keeping a well-stocked pantry. Mount a small dry erase board or notepad with a writing utensil right in the storage area so you can add items to the list as they are used.

Your shopping list will always be in process. Any space can be used to store your items and if you have a larger family, it will probably be spread over several different locations. Use boxes, baskets, shelves, plastic tubs with lids, or anything you like to store your items in an organized manner

Start and Organize your Pantry and see how much time and money you will save.

But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity.
Isaiah 32:8

Start a Pantry to Save Time and Money Pt. 1

FullCupboard.com

Start a pantry because a well stocked kitchen pantry and is the trademark of an organized kitchen. It is important for every home to have a reserve of regularly used food items, sundries and a few special items on hand to welcome surprise guests.

For example, if it is properly stocked, you won’t run out of toilet paper, paper towels, flour, sugar, or other staple items which can be bought in bulk. Also, if for some reason an illness, job loss or natural disaster occurs, a well maintained stock level enables a family to continue eating and living well despite their circumstances. How does someone start a pantry?



First I would start with a Basic Pantry List. There is a standard: if you have an item that is open, there is one back up on the shelf. It’s a good idea to have at least a three-day supply of both food items and hygiene supplies to provide for your family plus at least one extra person

Always use the FIFO method: First In, First Out. When you purchase new items, rotate the older items to the front to be used first. If you are a planner and prefer to have more supplies on hand, it would be wise to include substitutes for fresh foods.

 Examples might include powdered milk, protein products, dried fruits and dried vegetables. These items might simply save a trip to the grocery store if you accidentally run out of a fresh item, which means you have saved time and money!  Continued on Next Blog Post

Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from  the one who wants to borrow from you.
Matthew 5:42

Clipping and Sorting your Coupons A Method to My Madness

FullCupboard.com

Coupon clip one day a week at a specific time, toss all the ones you don't use or give them to someone that you know who uses that particular product, and then you're done until next week

Sometimes you can accumulate piles of newspapers and coupon circulars that will you will eventually get around to clipping the coupons. So designate a place for these items so you won't have to look for them when coupon clipping time comes.

Sort your coupons
Grocery coupon organizers let you sort your coupons once and then you're done. There are a number of different types of coupon organizers some simple and some very detailed. A good rule is to put the older coupons in front of newer ones so that you use the older ones first and can use them up before they expire.

· Sort them logically -- for you
Everybody's a little different, but the point is that you should sort your coupons in a way that makes sense to you. Here are some ways to consider sorting them, select which method is easier for you.

· Alphabetically by product name or manufacturer
· By grocery aisle order at your favorite store
· By type of food or household item ( cereals, canned vegetables, canned friut,dairy, meat, clothing,   
  cleaners,baby items etc.


 Remember that however you decide to sort your coupons, you should place them with the oldest
 coupons in front of the newer coupons in each category. This will ensure that you use up old coupons
 before they expire, saving yourself as much money as possible.

 There's no worse feeling than finding an expired coupon that you could have used.

 Make sure to share our blog with others, but make sure to share your extra groceries you've received from saving first!!!!


But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity.

A Broken And Contrite Heart
by Cindy Wyatt

A broken and contrite heart
God will not despise
He sees each teardrop that falls
with his own eyes

He knows how to put back the pieces
of a shattered heart
And with his hand will guide you
to give you a fresh start

He sees down deep inside
and knows the hurt you feel
And will never leave you or forsake you
but will rather heal

When there is a deep longing in your heart and soul
with no human help in sight
He will be there to hold your hand
through the darkest night

God Bless,

FullCupboard.com

This is another protection against picking up things that are too costly. Check your cabinets and the fridge to see what you need and write them down. Remember, the goal is to stick to the list and Your budget as much as possible.

 It also helps you save money on gas, because most of the time if you don't have a list you forget something.



Having a grocery list also helps you to remember the items that you have coupons for, nothing like getting home and finding a coupon that could have saved you a dollar or two.

Sometimes it's the little things that count, I am pretty sure you can remember how many times you entered a supermarket and walked out with twice as many things than you went in for.

For some of you hurry to eat your own meal without sharing with others. As a result, some go hungry while others get drunk.
Corithians 11:21
