Simply Living & Risen Acres

  Spring is in the air! I am usually a fall season kind of girl. As far as I can remember I have loved fall and welcomed clocks going back one hour and loved the early sunsets! I am fourty one years old and I am having a slightly different mind set now. I may be turning into a Spring girl! With the deep cold we had in Florida back to back this year, it killed all my plants. A lot of people in Florida lost their trees and plants. We had a mango tree we planted four years ago when we moved into the farmhouse and this year the tree was going to start growing mangos! The tree had buds and my husband and I were so excited! Well the deep frost hit our state twice and now the mango tree may be a goner! We were devastated! I also had two pineapple plants that should of given me two pineapples this year and I lost those to the deep cold also! I told my husband I simply did not want to think about it! I will look at it as a fresh start and find the excitement to see a vision of a new garden!...

I feel like we are all at a place where we have our hand over our mouth and are in utter shock! I know the Bible talks about the endtimes there would be wars and rumor of wars and we have escalated to almost world War!  I want to get right into the dream I had not too far back. I had this dream last year of October 2025. With everything the United States is doing I feel an urgency to share this dream. The dream started with me being 13 years old and I was standing outside of the church I was raised in. It was dark outside. In the dream I looked down and saw myself and I thought to myself.....how and why am I thirteen years old again?  Making tortillas for the week.  I will put the tortilla dough in the fridge and use thru out the week for dinner. This saves me time and money!  I looked aroun...

Normal. Gosh I forgot what that feels like. Just when you think your life is headed back to a state of normality or you think you have learned all you can learn and hear comes a curve ball out of nowhere! You know I work with the elderly people and they are so wise. Some people look down on the elderly or refuse to work with the elderly because they are slower or say ugly things about them because they need a little help to try to continue to live their life in their old age. We will hopefully get to live life until our old age. I have recently been telling my husband I want to be the first to go when I am 95 years old! I feel like my husband would handle loosing me better then me loosing him. I say that because men are resilient and handle stress better than us women. As a wife I stay waiting for my husband to always come home to me. If I were to ever loose my husband I would forever wait for him to come home to me!  The elderly always tell me to make your home a place you never w...
