We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Nativity scenes and Christmas cards make the birthing place of Jesus like something out of a “Tennessee Made-for-Television Christmas Special” with Garth Brooks sitting on a bale of hay strumming some of our Holiday favorites in a clean barn with domesticated animals and seats for the children to drink their hot chocolate. Clearly this was not the case for Joseph and Mary. The conditions were crude. We can assume animals were present, but the text never confirms it. Animals probably were at some time housed there since Jesus was placed in a manger, which is a feeding trough for animals. The whole place smelled not only from animal droppings, but also from poverty, scandal, insignificance, helplessness, humiliation and embarrassment.

INSTRUCTIONS

SYLLABUB
Make a custard by heating the milk with the orange zest. Beat the egg
yolks with the sugar and, when the milk is at scalding point, add it
to the egg yolks. Mix well and return to the pan. Heat very gently
until thickened - DO NOT BOIL! Sprinkle with the sugar to prevent a
skin from forming.
Put half the sliced cake at the bottom of your serving dish and pour
over the Madeira. Put the raspberries on top, then the macaroons,
then the cooled custard. Now add the rest of the cake.
Make the syllabub by soaking the lemon rind in the juice for 2 hours.
Add to the wine. Loosely whip the cream and add the wine and lemon to
it. Add sugar to taste, then pour on top of the trifle and decorate
as you like.
