God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Youth is the time when all seems to be within the grasp of the careful student. I have left that time behind. “I don’t know” is on my lips more often now. But so also is “God knows!” – not as a thoughtless expression in conversation, but as the conviction of my heart.
Here are four differences between deceit and honesty in our hearts: One, a deceitful heart doesn’t know its sins because it doesn’t want to know. But an honest heart is saying, “I’m listening. I’m open.” Two, a deceitful heart is more alert to how a sermon applies to someone else. But an honest heart is too concerned about itself to be busy with other people’s weaknesses. Three, a deceitful heart, when it isn’t growing, blames its inertia on hardship or its church or even on God Himself. But an honest heart says, “I need to get in gear.” Four, a deceitful heart delays response: “I’ll get around to it. But I just can’t right now.” An honest heart puts God first: “Lord, whatever You want, even right now.”
This is a hearty sweet and sour meat soup that can be used as a main dish.
Bubbies measurements were never exact. You need to taste. Put meat and
bones in a 8 or 12 qt stock pot. Put in cans of tomato, cover with water
and bring to a boil. In the meantime, get your veggies ready. Slice beets
and carrots, others go in whole. When stock boils, skim off top. Put in
beets, carrots, garlic, and other veggies. Turn heat down to a simmer and
keep lid on askew. After about an hour, put in garlic and sugar.
I have used Sweet and Low. Amounts are a matter of preference. It should
have a rich, sweet and sour taste. I break up the meat and stir it back
into the soup before serving. NOTE: Sometimes I add some tomato paste; 2 or
3 T for body; Enjoy!!! * Elaine/Framingham * Westboro 05/04/92 07:34 am
