Some believers are very surprised when they are called to suffer. They thought they would do some great thing for God, but all God permits them to do is to suffer. Just suppose you could speak with those who have gone to be with the Lord; everyone has a different story, yet everyone has a tale of suffering. One was persecuted by family and friends...another was inflicted with pain and disease, neglected by the world...another was bereaved of children...another had all these afflictions. But you will notice that though the water was deep, they all have reached the other side. Not one of them blames God for the road He led them; “Salvation” is their only cry. Are there any of you, dear children, murmuring at your lot? Do not sin against God. This is the way God leads all His redeemed ones.

COUNTRY HAM, ANY SIZE

INSTRUCTIONS

SCRUB OR CUT OFF ANY MOLD THAT IS ON HAM WHEN PURCHASED. THEN RINSE IT
WITH A MIXTURE OF EQUAL PARTS OF WHITE VINEGAR AND WATER. HANG IN THE HAM
IN A COOL PLACE TO STORE IT. IF MOLD REOCCURS. THE HAM WILL CONTINUE TO AGE
WHILE IT IS STORED. THE COOLER THE TEMPERATURE THE LESS IT WILL AGE.
COUNTRY HAMS ALWAYS TASTE SALTY. YOU CAN REMOVE SOME OF THE SALT AND ADD
MOISTURE BACK TO THE CURED HAM BY SOAKING IT IN WATER FOR 24 HOURS. SALT
CONSCIOUS PAOPLE SOMETIMES SOAK THEM UP TO 72 HOURS. IF YOU DO THIS, CHANGE
WATER DAILY. THIS REMOVES SOME OF THE SALTY TASTE, BUT NOT ALL.
COOK THE HAM ACCORDING TO THE COUNTRY HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR COATING
DIRECTIONS.
ONCE THE HAM IS COOKED IT WILL KEEP IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR UP TO 6
WEEKS IF IT IS TIGHTLY WRAPPED IN BROWN PAPER OR ALUMINUM FOIL. DON'T USE
PLASTIC WRAP AS IT HOLDS TO MUCH MOISTURE AND SPEEDS SPOILAGE.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
