We Love God!

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

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
Charles Spurgeon

While the spiritual heart is most important, most relationships start off based on physical attractiveness (see Song of Solomon). Therefore, I submit to you that we demonstrate love toward our spouse by reasonably maintaining our attractiveness. After all, according to Scripture our bodies belong not to ourselves, but to each other (1 Cor. 7:4). What we are seeing to avoid is the popular mentality that says, “Get the ring and let my attractiveness do its thing.” Moreover, if the relationships are working correctly, our death is the most painful thing our spouses and children will ever encounter. I’ve done my share of funerals. I’ve seen this up close and personal. So how can we say we love them by willfully speeding up the process toward a premature death simply due to physical neglect? Is it a loving act if our grandchildren live the majority of their lives without us because we chose an unhealthy lifestyle?

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Eggs, Grains June 1993 1 servings

INGREDIENTS

Two; (8-ounce) containers
; plain yogurt
2 c All-purpose flour
1 1/2 ts Double-acting baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
1 Stick unsalted butter; softened (1/2 cup)
3/4 c Sugar
2 lg Eggs
3/4 c Dried apricots; chopped fine
1 c Walnuts; chopped fine
1/2 c Orange Honey Syrup; about
Mint sprigs for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Let the yogurt drain in a fine sieve set over a bowl, covered and
chilled, overnight and measure out 1 cup of the drained yogurt,
reserving the remaining yogurt for another use.
Preheat the oven to 350F. and butter and flour a 10-inch springform
pan. Into another bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder,
the baking soda, and a pinch of salt. In the bowl of an electric
mixer cream the butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and
fluffy, beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each
addition, and beat in the 1 cup drained yogurt, beating until the
mixture is just combined. Add the flour mixture, beat the batter
until it is just combined, and stir in the apricots and the walnuts.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake the cake in the
middle of the oven for 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out with a
few crumbs adhering to it. Put the cake in the pan on a rack set over
foil, pour the orange honey syrup over it, and let the cake absorb
the syrup. The cake may be made 2 days in advance and kept in the pan
covered with plastic wrap and foil and chilled. Remove the side of
the pan and garnish the cake with the mint sprigs.
