We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

If we would stop treating Sunday as a second Saturday, one more day to run to Home Depot, one more day for the kids’ soccer games, another day for getting ready for Monday, if we would rediscover Sunday as The Lord’s Day, focusing on Him for just one day each week, what would be the immediate impact between today and one year from today? By one year from today, we will have spent 52 whole days given over to Jesus. Seven and a half weeks of paid vacation with Jesus. He’s a good King. Maybe we should put Him first in our weekly schedules. Not fit Him into the margins of our busy weekends, but build our whole weekly routine around Him.

Spiritual knowledge of Christ will be a personal knowledge. I cannot know Jesus through another person's acquaintance with Him. No, I must know Him myself. It will be an affectionate knowledge of Him; indeed, if I know Him at all, I must love Him. It will be a satisfying knowledge. When I know my Savior, my mind will be full to the brim - I shall feel that I have that which my spirit panted after. It will be an exciting knowledge; the more I know of my Beloved, the more I shall want to know. The higher I climb the loftier will be the summits which invite my eager footsteps. I shall want the more as I get the more. Like the miser's treasure, my gold will make me covet more.
C.H. Spurgeon

minutes, stirring occasionally.  Uncover and cook until fruit is very
tender, stirring stirring occasionally (20-30 minutes).
Cool slightly. Force fruit through food mill fitted with medium blade,
discarding peel and seeds.  (or you can do as I do, seed and pit the fruit
BEFORE cooking. Then, when you reach this stage, all you have to do is run
it through a food processor)  Return puree to pan, add sugar and cinnamon.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. (careful, mixture
can scorch easily!) Reduce heat and simmer briskly until butter is thick
and glossy, stirring frequently (about 40 minutes). Remove from heat, spoon
into hot sterilized jars and seal. Makes 3 pints jars or 6 - 8oz jars.
Butter can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, or processed in a
boiling water bath (15 minutes for pint jars or 10 minutes for 8 oz jars)
and kept on a cool dark shelf for up to 1 year.
