We Love God!

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

Consider God’s faithfulness to His promises: We learn that all things do work together for good (Rom. 8:28). We learn that God will never leave us nor forsake us (Heb. 13:5). We learn that nothing will separate us from the love of Christ (Rom. 8:35). We learn to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7). We learn to trust in God’s character and not our circumstances. We learn no detail of our life is outside His loving purpose and sovereign control. We learn His solution far surpasses our most creative imagination. We learn God is often closest when we least feel His presence. We learn Hebrews 10:23 which calls us to “hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”

is taken seriously here in Louisiana,  even by young children.  At a
fish-fry at a camp on the levee that  contains the Atchafalaya River
Basin, a swamp of incredible beauty in  the sourhtgern part of the
state, I overheard two ten-year-olds  discussing the merits of the cole
slaw that was part of the buffet.  Etienne, who was on his second
helping, was telling his cousin  Monique that he "couldn't ever" get
enough of the stuff. Monique  replied that "Maw-Maw", their
grandmother, sure knew how to make good  slaw. One taste made me agree.
I went in search of Maw-Maw and asked  her to share her secret. Lou's
