How would you finish [this] sentence? “One thing have I desired of the Lord; that will I seek after _________.” What is the greatest desire and longing of your heart? In the answer to that question lies the explanation for much of what we do – our choices, our priorities, our use of time, the way we spend money, the way we respond to pressure, whom or what we love. [King] David’s answer (see Psm. 27:4) reveals why God could say, “This man’s heart beats like mine.”

INGREDIENTS

20	oz	Frozen cut green beans – (2 pkgs); thawed
1/2	lb	Bacon; diced
1	bn	Scallions; chopped
2	tb	Chopped fresh parsley
1/3	c	Olive oil
1	tb	Lemon juice
2	tb	White wine vinegar
		Salt; to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain well and
rinse in cold water to cool. Drain well again. Cook the bacon until
it is almost crisp. Drain the fat. Combine the beans, bacon,
scallions and parsley in a bowl. Mix together the oil, lemon juice
and vinegar. Add to the bowl of beans and toss together. Add salt and
pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. Toss the salad a
couple of times while chilling. This recipe serves 6 to 8 as a salad,
4 to 6 as a main course.
Comments: This just sounded good to me and it certainly qualifies as a
salad that can be made ahead of time and enjoyed when you are good and
ready. It will hold up for a couple of days.
