NIV: Philippians 2:14 Do everything without complaining or arguing,
KJV: Philippians 2:14 Do all things without murmurings or disputings:
Sometimes I kid around with my boys, saying that God's Word says I am supposed to do things by myself because one child is always arguing and one is always complaining. Mr. Murmur and Mr. Dispute.
It is in our nature to do these things, as evident in our lives as mothers, wives, and even from the mouths of our children.
This week I pray we all can concentrate on this verse and set the example for our children and our spouse. Let's bite our tongue, be thankful for what we DO have, and pray about how we can apply this verse to our lives.
I am going to write this verse out and tape it to my bathroom mirror, where I can see it when I first wake up, and before I go to sleep, and, as any child with a preschooler knows, the hundred times in between.
SUPPORT a fellow MOPS MOM!
A few meetings ago, Jeannie S. told us about this and she sent out a reminder!

I was going through my pictures and saw this one of the otters that live there:
They were my favorite animals to see!

Quickies
Quickies-No Baking Required, Husband Approved!
Combine in a sauce pan:
2 Cups of Sugar
1/2 Cup of Butter
1/2 Cup Baking Cocoa
1/2 Cup Milk
Boil on MEDIUM heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring continually.
Remove from heat.
Add:
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
3 Cups Oatmeal (I use regular, but you can use quick)Add it slowly, until it becomes slighty thick.
This picture shows it a bit thin yet.
If you so desire, add 1/2 Cup of Chopped Nuts or 1/4 Cup ground Flax Seed.
Stir together 'till its thick and gooey. Drop into cookies on a tray to cool. They don't look the best, but they sure taste great with a glass of milk!
Any mixture that doesn't fit on the tray should be eaten immediately.
Yummy! You can use waxed paper, but it may stick once it cools!
This is also GLUTEN FREE, if you use Gluten Free Oatmeal.
