God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Leaders have to make decisions day by day. Convictional leaders are determined to make the right decisions, grounded in those convictions. But at the end of the day, all we can do is make the best decisions we can, knowing that the final verdict will not come from shareholders, board members, church members, or even historians, but from God. “Well done, good and faithful servant” is the verdict for which we strive and hope. The decision to aim for that verdict is one we had better make right now before it is too late.
Mercy, like the regions of space, has no limit, and as these stretch away before the traveler who looks out from the farthest star, so the loftiest intellect and the largest heart can discover no bounds to mercy. Like our Father in heaven, we are to forgive without stint, forgiving as we expect to be forgiven.
1) Combine apricots and water in a bowl, cover, and let stand overnight, or
until soft and well plumped--abt 12 hrs. 2) Combine apricots and their
soaking water in saucepan with the orange peel and juice and simmer for 5
min. 3) Add the sugar and bring to boil, stirring. Boil gently, stirring
often, until the mixture is thick and shiny anb begins to clear the sides
of the pan when stirred. While mixture thickens, be sure to stir it
continually but gently, so that the fruit does not burn or get squashed. DO
NOT ALLOW THE MIXTURE TO COOK DOWN TO A PUREE; it should retain good-sized
bits of apricot. This step will take abt. 30 min., but will vary. 4) Remove
the preserve from heat and stir in almond extract and brandy. 5) Ladle into
3 half-pint canning jars, prepared in usual manner and seal with sterilized
2 pc. screw-on lids. 6) Cool and let mellow several weeks or more before
serving.
Yield: 3 half-pint jars Makes excellent gift !!!

A Message from our Provider:
“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
