To say that God is faithful or consistent is not to imply, however, that He is predictable. Much bitterness toward God results from a misconception of this. Too often we speculate and try to guess the actions of God and, therefore, develop expectations. Through our limited and often perverted reasoning, we determine the “best” for our lives and then consider God's only reasonable response to be one of quick and complete fulfillment.

INGREDIENTS

8	oz	Chipped beef; chopped
1		Stick butter; (or, 8 Tablespoons, or 1/2 cup)
4	tb	Flour; about, (up to 6)
		Whole milk; or half 'n' half
		White pepper
1	ds	Nutmeg

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt butter in large saucepan. Add chopped chipped beef, and saute for a
few minutes. Dump in the flour and mix well - reduce heat and cook about 5
minutes, stirring continually. Pour in enough milk or light cream to cover
the beef. Cook over medium heat - if it gets too thick, add more milk,
continue to cook, and keep adding milk, a little at a time, if necessary,
until the thickness is what you want. Add some ground white pepper and a
dash of nutmeg. Put on very low heat, and cook about 20 minutes, stirring
often.
The key to ANY sauce to which you add flour is cooking it long enough to
get out the flour taste. The minimum amount of time for that is about 10
minutes. Longer is better, to give the various flavors time to "marry."

A Message from our Provider:

“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
