"God is good, and doeth good"
Psalm 119:68
There!
That being said, I am sharing a very easy, delicious meal to incorporate into your busy lives. This can be made into a giant pot for a night of fellowship with other families, divided for your freezer, or modified for the single man (hello, Elliot) who may need some tasty variety in his diet. Mostly, it is healthy, and surprise of all surprises, my whole family LIKES it!
FARMHOUSE BEANS
1 lb. hamburger, browned and drained
1 lb. bacon, diced, fried and drained
1 lb. brown sugar (yikes!, but a key ingredient)
1 quart canned tomatoes
1 large jar Great Northern beans, drained
(or 2 lbs. dried beans, soaked and drained)
salt and pepper
chopped celery
chopped onions
chopped garlic
worchestershire sauce
Heat in a crock pot, serve in bowls as stew or on buns. Adjust amount of liquid depending on how you want to serve it.

I certainly have had my share of days like that! Usually toward the end of winter when I've been indoors too long and it's been gloomy for days on end or toward the end of summer when I haven't been inside enough to take care of the house and all structure and routine is out the door! Praying tonight that God helps you to see past the messes and that they fade out of sight until you can do what needs to be done!
Thank you! I soooo needed something crock pot easy :-)
Funny I was feeling a bit overwhelmed today while looking around at all the messes that each child had left lying around. So I decided I could get really mad and turn into drill sgt or walk outside and enjoy the lovely day. I'm so glad I went outside :-)
Hope you are feeling better soon~ hugs, hugs, hugs~ Cinnamon
Thank you for sharing the delicious recipe. There are always days when you're down but the sun will come up again tomorrow with all the glorious possibilities of what a great day it could be. God is good.
Thank you for the beautiful verse. I have needed it in the past few weeks. So Sorry you are feeling overwhelmed. (Hugs dear friend)
I also wanted to tell you the blog looks wonderful! What a beautiful home you are blessed with to raise your beautiful family in Christ. Oh and a button, yay I am adding it to my blog. Blessings Catherine
Oh dear friend,
Those days are so frequent aren't they?
But Yes, Our God is good...all the time!!

Fellow farmers! How wonderful!
Hi,
Yum..the bean recipe looks great!
I'll have to try it sometime. I'm sure my family would love it. :D
I have been so blessed by Jenna's blog, Feminine Farmgirl! ;D
I believe that she and I are like minded in many ways (by being sisters in Christ, homeschooled, belonging to a big family, doing courtship vs. dating, etc) and it is so encouraging to read her blog!
I hope to start a blog soon after my parents grant me permission. :D
May God continue to bless your family. Have a great weekend!
In Christ,
Moriah S.
Lol, but I DO have variety in my diet! *earnest expression* Sometimes I have my bread with an orange instead of a pear!
But I appreciate your kind solicitousness for my wellbeing...
I was wondering where you get those beautiful pictures on your side bar( and the one as your blogger picture)??? I like those pictures,but I can't figure out where you got them! Thanks just comment back on the same post cause I don't have a blog yet!
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers...
Anonymous~the header picture is actually our home :) humble and needy, but home none-the-less. As for the other pictures, you may be referring to the prints from Robert Duncan? They are very sweet and family friendly. I love them too. If you're talking about the sweet photo of all those children...those are mine LOL.
I can relate to the overwhelming, frustrating, self-wallowing days!!! :) It happens WAY too much here! God is so good. In Isaiah somewhere it says how "He gently leads those with young" He is so good to us. Hope you feel refreshed soon!! You have sweet children I can see. I look at Jennas blog often and pray I will have a godly daughter as her one day.

MM!! There is nothing like a pot of beans on a cold winter's night. But when you can 'dress' it up, that is always great! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
In Christ Alone,
Sarah
No, I was talking about the photos by Robert Duncan1 Thank you I do like your house by the way!
God's country girl

I think I just googled pictures by the illustrator that I want. However, I'm very technically challenged, and often am left wondering where everyone else finds their beautiful prints.
You are a sweet soul to leave a recipe with us when, as you say, hit the wall.
First time to your blog but I'll be back.
Take care
You make my heart smile. It would be fun to come and spend a day at your farm.
Blessings sweet lady, Linda
Yum!!
