God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
At an early hour in the morning the family was assembled and a portion of Scripture was read from the Old Testament, which was followed by a hymn and a prayer, in which thanks were offered up to the Almighty for preserving them during the silent watches of the night, and for His goodness in permitting them to meet in health of body and soundness of mind; and, at the same time, His grace was implored to defend them amid the dangers and temptations of the day – to make them faithful to every duty, and enable them, in all respects, to walk worthy of their Christian vocation… In the evening, before retiring to rest, the family again assembled, the same form of worship was observed as in the morning, with this difference, that the service was considerably protracted beyond the period which could be conveniently allotted to it in the commencement of the day (Lyman Coleman).
The Christian fight is a good fight - really good, truly good, emphatically good. We see only part of it as yet. We see the struggle, but not the end; we see the campaign, but not the reward; we see the cross, but not the crown. We see a few humble, broken-spirited, penitent, praying people, enduring hardships and despised by the world; but we see not the hand of God over them, the face of God smiling on them, the kingdom of glory prepared for them. These things are yet to be revealed. Let us not judge by appearances. There are more good things about the Christian warfare than we see.
Many thanks to Laurie from Virginia. Laurie sent me a recipe for
cinnamon-pineapple sauce that I made the other day. It was incredible...
even better than the one I had at that restaurant... and VERY EASY!
Combine ingredients in 2 qt. saucepan. Cook over medium high heat,
stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and heated through, about 3
~ 5 minutes. I used this sauce for dipping chicken nuggets into.
Thanks again, Laurie!!!
