Heritage Home~Place Herbals

Well it is February and I'm planning my gardens! I received my Elderberry cuttings from  River Hills Harvest With cold and flu season in full swing there is  relief and healing from Elderberries. Elderberries are known for the prevention of an upper respiratory infection and helps to  shorten the duration of a cold or the flu. The berries help coughs, sore throats, asthma and flu. Elderberries do grow wild here in Missouri. Commercial elderberry crops are becoming more popular however. Elderberries are used for wine making, dietary supplements, jams and pies. My personal interest in growing Elderberry bushes is the medicinal properties of the berries and the flowers. A great way for you to learn about making  herbal remedies is to join our monthly group meetings here at Heritage Home~Place. Our 'Lifestyle of Living' health and wellness group meets on the first Tuesday of each month. It is a fun hands-on learning experie

Inspired by my mother's journey and victory through breast cancer, I have been challenged to make a difference in other women's lives. Our 'Lifestyle of Living' health and wellness group of women meet here in my  home each month to learn and grow together.  We do hands-on projects that are fun and educational.  One of the ladies in our group has also gone through breast cancer.  She meets with a group of women each month that are going through cancer treatment.  She is such an inspiration to these precious women that are  staying strong through their journey. Our 'Lifestyle of Living' health and wellness group have an on-going project to encourage these special ladies.  We put together gift bags filled with inspiring gifts. We want women going through cancer of any type to know that we are praying for them  and standing with them. We invite you to join us. If you would like to donate to this cause please contact me via e-mail: heri

God's Valentine Gift God's Valentine gift of love to us Was not a bunch of flowers; It wasn't candy, or a book To while away the hours. His gift was to become a man, So He could freely give His sacrificial love for us, So you and I could live. He gave us sweet salvation, and Instruction, good and true-- To love our friends and enemies And love our Savior, too. So as we give our Valentines, Let's thank our Lord and King; The reason we have love to give Is that He gave everything. By Joanna Fuchs   What Valentine Can I Give Him? What can I give to Jesus On this special Valentine's Day? How can I tell Him I'll love Him, And follow Him, come what may? How can I show I need Him? Should I send a red heart, with lace? How can I thank Him enough For his sacrifice, love and grace? What Valentine can I give Him, My adoration to impart? I'll give to Him what He wants most; I'll yield to Him my heart.
