    I no longer put leftovers in the fridge. I now immediately freeze them and later combine them with a future meal. My family just has something against leftovers. Now, they have no idea. 😂

    I like the phrase, "the grass grows where we water it." What we focus our attention on tends to flourish. When we worry, our minds get really good at worrying. When we ruminate, our minds get really good at ruminating. When we practice gratitude or mindfulness, our minds get really good at that. Neural pathways develop that help us enter into these new ways of thinking with more ease.

      Did you know that comes from the Bible? - 1peter- for all flesh are as grass. And the glory of men as the flower of grass. The grass withereth and the flower thereof falleth away; but the word of the Lord endureth forever.. ( this is talking about the flesh falling away, but the Spirit inside Lives forever.) ( fruit has seeds inside. We are the firstfruits)
      Jesus is the firstfruits and we are IN him, so we are too. And the Spirit Jesus is the water- with His water you shall never thirst.
      Deut 32:2- My doctrine shall drop as the rain, My speech shall distill as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: The Bible is a Spiritual book. Written in signified language. Metaphors. The sea is the sea of people. The clouds are the clouds of witnesses. The field is the people where the wheat and tares grow. We all come from a family tree. The evil tree or the tree of Life. Jesus is the root and branch.
      Rev- I Am the root and the offspring of David.
      The tree has branches. They bare fruit., seeds. The evil tree has fruit that has corrupt seed, which we’ve all been born from. ( Adam and Eve). But when we believe the gospel we get the INcorruptible Seed which is the word of God, which Liveth and abideth Forever. Everything is beautifully written and explained with these pictures.
      We believers are the Temple of God. We are Living Stones that build up the Temple. Jesus is the chief cornerstone.
      1Tim 2:5- There Is ONE GOD and One Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
      The man Christ Jesus is 2-
      God ( Spirit) ( deity)
      Man ( Flesh) ( human).
      John 4:24- GOD IS A SPIRIT and we Must Worship Him In Spirit And In Truth.
      2Cor 5:19- GOD WAS IN CHRIST Reconciling The world unto Himself
      Col 2:9- For IN Him dwelleth All the Fulness of the Godhead bodily
      Jesus the son died for the sins of the world ( God is a Spirit and cannot die)
      Was buried and on the 3rd day GOD Raised him from the dead according to the scriptures
      Believe this and be Saved right now! IT IS FINISHED!! It’s All Been done for you! Believers are born again from the Tree of Life!! There is nothing to do. Just believe in the ONE TRUE GOD!

    What a blessing this post was for me!!! I was drawn to the title because I just filled my fridge 2 hours ago and thought I could pick up some tips (I like the one about the onions). But your devotion was just what I needed to hear. I wrote "What we behold, we become" in my Bible next to 2 Cor 3:18. You see, I filled my fridge with vegs & fruit because when I was shopping with a friend yesterday, I saw myself in a mirror and was horrified with how I looked, and I'm starting a new weight loss plan. You nudged me to see all this in a different light - seeing myself as being transformed - becoming more like Jesus. Isn't it awesome how God loves us through other people?!!

    I chop up onion, that has been in the bin too long, (also peppers and celery) and put it in the freezer then, use that onion in soups and casseroles. The flavor is just as good and it prevents waste. If it is stored in plastic zip bags it can be laid flat while freezing to make it easier to break into portions, if necessary. Thanks for the encouraging words.

    I absolutely love you both. You have improved my life so much since my 14 year old showed me your channel several months ago. I have a lot of work left in decluttering and organizing my home, but I am doing it one step at a time, little by little. Just like our homes that are a work in progress…. we declutter, getting rid of the non-essential and unimportant, our own lives, our selves are being transformed one step at a time. Here a little, there a little. Line upon line, precept upon precept. I SO appreciate your gospel perspective and that you let your light shine. Keep up your great work in sharing your talents, testimonies, and truths. So grateful for you. 💕

    Thanks, ladies, for encouraging this missionary pastor’s wife! As for the fridge, my hubby banned non-see-through leftover containers years ago. We only have one grocery store in our small town (so their prices aren’t all that great), so we have to stock up on things when we go to a larger town an hour away. We do buy produce & perishables locally in between trips. I’m purging a little at a time, so it’s not overwhelming. Yesterday, I purged a bookshelf in my bedroom & found a treasure! It was a poem one of my sons had written in 2005, about me & my dog. That son is now married, an assistant pastor & they’re expecting their 4th child! Said dog left us last year after 16.5 yrs of loyalty & love. Yes, I cried when I found that poem! Thanks for all of your encouragement to get rid of the excess stuff in our lives! 😊❤️

Now I am reading the selected chapters each morning and listening to Tara-Leigh's daily reflections and I have learned so much. Whether others see it in me or not, I feel the change my daily bible reading has made in my life. Thank you both for sharing your faith and giving us a wonderful way to face the week ahead.

I truly enjoy the days you both share together from Gods Word and feel like when you pray it's especially for me. This post was especially meaningful to me as I know I need to spend less time online but when I find such jewels that speak to me like this post did it makes it hard. Indo want to spend more time in Gods Word and please pray I will be able to withstand other things that get in the way of that commitment. Thank you for sharing your lives with me. I live alone so i enjoy the camaraderie i get from you sharing your great ideas and blessings and joy in the Lord.

    What a wonderful blessing you two have been to me and my family. I cannot thank you enough for what you do. So far, I have removed about 25 large boxes of "stuff" from our home. What a wonderful feeling!! I feel the weigh of that stuff has lifted off of me. I am able to keep my dishes done...most days ;-) which is an amazing accomplishment for me. I am on top of the laundry like never before. I am going room-to-room and decluttering what we absolutely do not need any more. There's even been a new sense of calmness in our home that I have so been looking for for a very long time. I have a ways to go still but there is such a peace that following your example has brought me that I had to share it with you now. And thank you for sharing God's Word with us. It has been a much needed source of comfort to me.

Being raised by parents who lived through the Depression, I was trained to hold on to things. Now I’m trying to change that mindset. I recently bought an instapot because everyone was raving about it. When I took it out of the box, I said to myself, “Do I really need another appliance at this stage of the game? I’ve managed to raise a family all these years without it.” I returned it the next day.

      Late to the conversation but I really needed to hear that. Twice in my life I started and finished reading the Bible in a year. I had tried a couple times with just the list of what to read each day, but it wasn't until I got a special "Bible in a Year" version that is in the order that you read that I managed to do it. Listening to your testimony today I just realized how transformative those two years were for me in so many ways. Strangely I never attributed the transformation to the sitting with the Word daily. At the time I just wanted to be able to say I had read the entire Bible. Thank you.

The bit about the preacher who had an addiction and found strength to overpower that after reading the Bible every day spoke to me. I am addicted to food. I am a mood eater and food is a comfort to me. Needless to say I am morbidly obese because of this and have been having the hardest time with it. I was reminded of a time right after I gave my heart and life to Christ when I was reading my Bible a lot every day. Life was so wonderful then even with bad things happening all around me. Thank you so much for sharing that and reminding me what I should be focused on. God bless you both and your families. I love you guys!

    As to refrigerator drawers: I removed the 2 drawers and now have an extra shelf that is much more useful! Produce is stored in air circulating containers I bought at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Onions are in a wire basket from Dollar Tree that hangs on the wall, potatoes in a wicker basket on the counter on opposite side of kitchen. I do keep tomatoes 🍅 in the fridge, especially in the summer. In Texas, food doesn’t last long when left out in the summer (and our summer is from April to October!). I do put potatoes in fridge during the summer, but only cut onions go in fridge!
    Diana, I really appreciate your devotional each Sunday!

    I’m loving your videos, as they are helping me out a ton. You’ve given me SO much good advice, and this video is no exception. I thought I would share a rule that I have for health reasons: I designate the bottom shelf for eggs, meat, and anything else that needs to be cooked before eating. This is a habit I picked up from the restaurant industry and keeps any meat juices or broken eggs etc from dripping on anything else. I usually keep cooked or ready-to-eat food on the top shelf, produce and things that need to be washed on the middle shelf, and meat and eggs on the bottom shelf. New food goes in the back and older food comes to the front or gets thrown away or composted. Hope that helps someone avoid food borne illness or having to throw anything away.

    Just in the nick of time: my family is working on eating down the freezer and frig! Your idea about new appliances is great and I have to add that the big time chefs usually recommend against buying 'single use' tools: everything in the kitchen MUST serve several purposes, otherwise they are a waste of space and money! Thanks for your messages, also.

    The best tips my mom shared which make sense and she learned as a result of growung up during WWII - when food was scarce and precious is to do two things consistently to avoid food spoilage and waste. This has helped me be more deliberate about using and buying only what we need.
    One...Plan one day a week for either left overs or to make a dish that will use all the food that won't last much ling. For example...soup or a stir fry or an oven roasted veggies etc.
    Two....plan to do pantry meals only for a few days or a week..once every other month.

    Here's the fridge hack I've been trying--we've put condiments in the drawers instead of produce. It doesn't matter where the ketchup is--my kids will find it. So anything that I know we won't forget we have (ketchup, mustard, mayo, jelly, etc.), I put in the drawers. Produce and other things that are likely to be lost and forgotten stay in eyesight. The caveat is that the drawer can get a little heavy with all of those jars!

    I am a missionary in Tijuana Mexico, and I love your posts! Thank you for all of your work in making them! Dawn, when you said that you don’t know what it is about reading the Word every day that brings such joy, I agree with you 100%! And i believe it is because “the Word of God is alive and active, sharper than any two edged sword,”... Hebrews 4:12, and like John 1:1 says, “in the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God!” So for me, the Word of God is Jesus in the flesh! God bless you both!

      God is Invisible. You can’t see Him! We are Hid IN Christ!!
      The things seen are temporal!! Things Not seen are Eternal! ( 2Cor 4:18). John 4:24- GOD IS A SPIRIT And we must worship Him in spirit and in truth!! They are Fake. The Flesh is not Godly. The flesh is as filthy rags. Sin and death! The Spirit is Life. We see By Faith. Let our light shine so men can see it. ( By Faith). There is One GOD. And He Is A Spirit. And He is Inside of Every believer! And it doesn’t matter if you read your Bible or not, or do things trying to impress Him, IF HE’s IN You, You Are SPENDING TIME WITH HIM! You don’t turn it on and off! He Loves Us. He want All to be Saved! But you must believe. In the ONE TRUE GOD! And He IS LIFE. And when you have His Spirit in You, You Have LIFE!
