We Love God!

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

The church is not perfect, but woe to the man who finds pleasure in pointing out her imperfections! Christ loved his church, and let us do the same. I have no doubt that the Lord can see more fault in his church than I can; and I have equal confidence that he sees no fault at all. Because he covers her faults with his own love-that love which covers a multitude of sins; and he removes all her defilement with that precious blood which washes away all the transgressions of his people.
C.H. Spurgeon

As the flower in the garden stretches toward the light of the sun, so there is in the child a mysterious inclination toward the eternal light. Have you ever noticed this mysterious thing that when you tell the smallest child about God, [he or she] never asks with strangeness and wonder, “What or who is God – I have never seen Him,” but listens with shining face to the words as though they soft loving sounds from the land of home. Or when you teach a child to fold [his or her] little hands in prayer that [he or she] does this as though it were a matter of course, as though [it was] opening for [the child] that world of which [he or she] had been dreaming with longing and anticipation. Or tell them, these little ones, the stories of the Savior, show them the pictures with scenes and personages of the Bible – how their pure eyes shine, how their little hearts beat.

Lemon Chicken with Chervil

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Meats, Dairy Tessa’s, Tastebuds 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 sm Free range chickens
Zest and juice of 3 thin skinned lemons
2 Cloves garlic
1 Handful fresh chervil
Freshly ground salt and pepper
30 g Unsalted butter; (1oz)
600 ml White chicken stock; (1 pint)
150 ml Double cream; (1/4 pint)
Caster sugar to taste
1 Handful freshly chopped flat leaf parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash and dry the chicken. Zest the lemons and squeeze the juice. Lift the
skin over the breast and gently work your fingers between the flesh and the
skin to seperate them.
Crush the garlic. Pick some of the thyme leaves off the stems. Mix together
the butter, garlic and thyme leaves, half the lemon zest and some
seasoning.
Spread the seasoned butter under the skin of the chickens and over the
flesh of the breasts. Season the birds inside and out. Strew the rest of
the thyme over the base of an oven proof dish and sit the birds on top,
breast sides down. Pour over half the stock and a squeeze of lemon.
Roast in the preheated oven until the juices run clear (aprrox 50 minutes
dependant on the size of the birds). Turn the birds after 1/2 hour and
baste with the pan juices leaving the skin on the breast to crisp. Remove
the chickens from the cooking dish and keep warm whilst you make the sauce.
Cook together the rest of the stock and the lemon zest and juice with a
little sugar. Use to de-glaze the cooking dish scraping up all the crusty
cooking juices and simmer them together to amalgamate the flavours. Strain
into a clean pan. Add the cream and cook down fairly hard to reduce and
caramelise the cream. Season carefully and add a little more sugar if
necessary (it depends how tart the lemons are)
Finish the sauce with a good handful of freshly chopped parsley.
Remove the breasts and legs off the carcasses and serve with a coating of
the sauce.
