When I was coming to Christ, I thought I was doing it all myself, and though I sought the Lord earnestly, I had no idea the Lord was seeking me. I do not think the young convert is at first aware of this… One week-night, ... the thought struck me, "How did you come to be a Christian?" I sought the Lord. "But how did you come to seek the Lord?" The truth flashed across my mind in a moment – I should not have sought Him unless there had been some previous influence in my mind to make me seek Him. I prayed, thought I, but then I asked myself, How came I to pray? I was induced to pray by reading the Scriptures. How came I to read the Scriptures? I did read them, but what led me to do so? Then, in a moment, I saw that God was at the bottom of it all, and that He was the Author of my faith, and so the whole doctrine of grace opened up to me, and from that doctrine I have not departed to this day, and I desire to make this my constant confession, "I ascribe my change wholly to God"

1		Orange
1/2	c	Pecans; toasted
4	tb	Butter; melted
1	c	Cranberries
1/3	c	Maple syrup or honey
1	ts	Ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice tops from apples. Carefully remove
cores, taking care not to cut through to bottoms.
2. Peel skin from orange, leaving the bitter white membrane. Dice orange
peel. Juice orange. Discard membrane. Coarsely chop pecans. Drizzle 2
tablespoons of the melted butter in the bottom of a 9- by 12-inch baking
dish. In a small mixing bowl combine cranberries, orange peel, orange
juice, pecans, remaining butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
3. Place 1/8 of the mixture into each cored apple. Put apples into baking
dish. Cover pan with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and
bake until a knife inserted in the side of apples meets no resistance (5
minutes). Apples will be tender but should still hold their shape.
