God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Nonattendance, in the early years of our church, was considered one of the most sinister of sins, because it usually veiled all the other sins. When someone began to be in sin, you would expect them to stop attending.
If my thirst for joy and meaning and passion are satisfied by the presence of the promises of Christ, the power of sin is broken. We do not yield to the offer of sandwich meat when we can see the sizzling steak on the grill… At first lust tricks me into feeling that I would really miss out on some great satisfaction if I followed the path of purity. But then I take up the sword of the Spirit and begin to fight… And as I pray for my faith to be satisfied with God’s life and peace, the sword of the Spirit carves the sugar coating off the poison of lust… And by the grace of God, (lust’s) alluring power is broken.
Into a 1 qt. jar add enough canned Cherries, in natural juices, to fill the
jar. Mix into some brandy 1 tsp. cherry extract. Pour that and more brandy
into the 1 qt. jar.Add 1/2 cup sugar and shake the jar to dissolve. Let
sit, slightly open or covered with cheesecloth for 2-4 weeks. Cap and give
as gifts.
You can do the same with peaches, apricots, or any other fruit you would
like. Just if there is no extract for that fruit, then add some almond
extract instead. Think of some of this poured over ice cream on a hot
Summer day:):) Yum!!
Cheryl Gavard--If you like the taste of almonds, try making the cherries,
peaches or whatever you like with Amaretto. It's fabulous. If you want a
bit more decadence (along with cost) I know you like the Godiva
liqueur--it's fantastic with bing cherries!!
