Name: Beggar's Purses
Ingredients: See instructions

How can I tell the difference between the convicting ministry of the Holy Spirit and the accusing attacks of Satan? Some thoughts: 1. The Holy Spirit puts His finger on a specific sin I have committed, something concrete I can own and confess, but the accusations of Satan are vague and simply demoralizing. 2. The Holy Spirit shows me Christ, the mighty Friend of sinners, but the devil wants me spiraling down into negative self-focus. 3. The Holy Spirit leads me to a threshold of new life, but the devil wants to paralyze me where I am. 4. The Holy Spirit brings peace of heart along with a new hatred of sin, so that I bow before Jesus in reconsecration, but the devil offers peace of mind with smug relief, so that I fold my arms and say, “There, that’s over with.” 5. The Holy Spirit helps me to be so open to God that I allow Him to control the conversation, but the devil tempts me to take off the table certain questions I just don’t want God to talk to me about. We are thankful for our dear Friend, the Holy Spirit.

_Martha Stewart's Menus for Entertaining_ has a recipe for Duck-Filled
Beggar's Purses.  Don't see why you couldn't substitute your filling of
choice.  I'm not sure what to substitute for the chive tie, I'm sure
someone would have a good suggestion. Here are the assembly instructions,
excluding the duck filling. I don't know how big the ones in the movie
were, but she mentions these being bite sized. Hope it works for you!
"To assemble, spread 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface keeping the
rest of the dough covered with a damp dish towel.  Brush the entire surface
with butter, then top with another sheet of phyllo.  Repeat twice for a
total of 4 sheeps of phylo dough one on top of another brushing butter
between each layer. Using a sharp knife cut the layered dough into 6
squares.  Place a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center of each
phyllo square.  Pull the corners up to the center and gather the dough
pinching it closed over the filling. Tie each bundle securely with a single
chive.  Using sharp scissors, snip the dough off one inch above the chive
ribbon so that the tops are even. The purses can be frozed on
parchment-lined sheets, well wrapped, at this point. To serve, preheat the
oven to 350 F.  Place the purses on baking sheeps and bake for 10-15
minutes until golden brown."
