Fresh Lemon Squares – We Love God!

Our body’s health directly affects our disposition. You know how you feel when you are sick – more irritable, less social, more self-focused. Adversely, when you can get your body into its optimal performance, it stands to reason that it will positively affect your countenance, attitude and disposition. I am not giving an excuse to act in the flesh (when you don’t feel well) nor am I implying that true fruit is not of the Holy Spirit, but the loving attitude toward others that our Lord desires flows much easier when we are not laboring to get through life. We can easier get our minds off ourselves and on to the needs of others as Philippians 2:3-4 teaches. Isaiah 35:3 says, “Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble.” Wouldn’t you rather be on the encouraging and strengthening side than the exhausted and feeble side? Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

CRUST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan
with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, stir
together cake flour and powdered sugar. Using a pastry blender cut
cream cheese into the flour mixture until crumbly. Gradually add oil,
stirring with a fork. Toss until evenly moistened. (The mixture will
be crumbly.) Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 20  to
25 minutes, or until golden colored.  FILLING: In a mixing bowl, beat
egg whites, sugar and lemon zest  together with an electric mixer until
smooth. In a small bowl, stir  together all-purpose flour, baking
powder and salt. Add to the  egg-white mixture and beat until blended.
Mix in lemon juice. Pour  over the hot crust and bake for about 20
minutes longer, or until the  top is light golden brown and set. Let
cool in the pan on a rack.  Spray a sharp knife with non-stick cooking
spray and cut into  squares. Dust with sifted powdered sugar.  Yield:
