God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
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 cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.

I love this Banana Butter much more than the Apple Butter.
Thoroughly mash bananas; measure 4 cups into 4 to 6 quart kettle or Dutch
oven. Add sugar, lemon juice, cherries, and butter; mix well. Bring to hard
rolling boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer gently, uncovered,
20 minutes, stirring often. Pour into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
Adjust lids. Process in boiling water bath (half-pints)
10 minutes. Makes 6 half-pints.
