Name: Avocado-Tofu-Egg Dip
Ingredients: 10 Min to prepare; Yield 1 1/2 c; 3 tb Cider vinegar; 3 tb Cold water; 1 Cake (1/4 lb) tofu; 1 md (4" long) ripe avocado; 2 Hard cooked eggs; 1/2 ts Dijon mustard; 1/2 ts Prepared horseradish; 1/2 c Very finely minced red onion

God wants us to follow a recurring pattern of intense work and then rest, intense work and then rest, and so forth. Whatever view one takes of the Sabbath, surely the six days of work and the one day of rest embedded in the creation remain relevant in some sense. Any routine of life that is unsustainable long-term cannot be of God. He calls us to work. But he also calls us to rest, in order to work most fruitfully. What sets us apart is this. We rest, in order to work; we do not work, in order to rest. We who believe the gospel are not living for the weekend, but for The End. In the meantime, we figure out rhythms of life that make fruitful labor sustainable.

A Message from our Provider:

“The great mystery is not unanswered prayer; it’s unfinished prayer”

Perhaps most of all, our children need to hear that we love them. And why do we love them? Simply because they are our children. Period! They do not earn our love, nor can they lose our love regardless of what they do. This is modeling the divine love of God. Why does He love us? Because He chooses to do so. The love is unconditional and not based on our performance. And the Bible says the only reason we love Him is because He first loves us (1 Jn. 4:19). And how did He show that loved? Through His own sacrifice. “In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10). Children can easily see where your priorities are and where your love is directed.
