God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We may often be baffled by the reality of the power of evil as it is manifest in our circumstances. Sometimes that power seems so overwhelming that we are unable to praise within the circumstances of our life. It is then that we do well to recall the words of the Apostle Paul. When writing amidst difficult circumstances to the Church at Ephesus he could say, ‘Giving thanks always for all things unto God.’ He had come to know that no matter what the source of the evil, if we are in Christ, and surrounded by Him as by an atmosphere, all evil has to pass through Him before it comes to us (Robert Norris).
The three of us love this pickled beet recipe from Farm House Cookbook.
1. Trim beet stems, leaving 1/2 inch of stem intact. Do not trim roots.
2. Bring water to a boil in the bottom of a vegetable steamer. Add beets,
cover, and steam until nearly tender but still offer resistance when tested
with a sharp knife about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove steamer basket from heat.
3. While beets are steaming, combine vinegar, sugar, spices, and herbs in a
saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and keep warm.
4. When beets are cool enough to handle, carefully scrape off the skin,
trim the stem and root ends. Slice the beets into 1/8 inch thick slices and
place in glass bowl. Cover with warm vinegar mix and set aside to cool.
When cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using. They
will keep for about 3 weeks. Makes 2 cups Posted to fatfree digest V97 #197

A Message from our Provider:
“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
