We Love God!

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

[Man never achieves] a clear knowledge of himself unless he has first looked upon God's face, and then descends from contemplating Him to scrutinize himself. For we always seem to ourselves righteous and upright and wise and holy – this pride is innate in all of us – unless by clear proofs we stand convinced of our own unrighteousness, foulness, folly, and impurity. Moreover, we are not thus convinced if we look merely to ourselves and not also to the Lord, who is the sole standard by which this judgment must be measured.
John Calvin

The sentimental Christmas may be popular as a religious holiday for some because it can come off as celebrating the birth of a helpless baby. Jesus lies in a manger to be gazed upon and adored, but not to be heard and heeded. A speechless babe wrapped tightly in swaddling cloths seems more obliging in allowing people to tailor their religious beliefs however they see fit.

Eggs Gift, Holiday, Ideas 8 Servings

INGREDIENTS

1 c Margarine, softened
3 c Granulated sugar
4 Eggs, whipped
1 T Vanilla
1 t Almond extract
2 c Applesauce, at room
Temperature
3 c Unbleached flour
3/4 c Cocoa powder, sifted
1 t Baking soda
1/2 t Baking powder
1/8 t Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven at 325.  Place a baking sheet onto middle rack and  remove
top rack from oven.  Before starting batter, wash 8 (1 pint)  wide
mouth canning jars with lids in hot soapy water and let drain,  dry,
and cool to room temperature.  Generously prepare jars with  margarine.
In a mixing bowl, combine margarine, sugar, eggs,  vanilla, almond
extract, and applesauce. In another mixing bowl,  combine flour, cocoa
powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Mix wet ingredients with
dry ingredients just until moistened.  Spoon  1 level cupful of batter
into each jar. Carefully wipe rims clean,  then place jars on baking
sheet (or they'll tip over) in the center  of oven.  Bake 40 minutes.
Keep lids in hot water until they're  used.  When cakes are done,
remove jars which are HOT from oven one  at a time.  If rims need
cleaning, use moistened paper towel.  Carefully put lids and rings in
place, then screw tops on tightly  shut. Place jars on a wire rack;
they will seal as they cool.  Once jars are cool, decorate with round
pieces of cloth and then glue  on flowers, ribbons, etc. on lid, ring
and side of jar.  Unscrew the  ring (the lid should be sealed by now)
and place a few cotton balls  on top of the lid (makes it poofy on
top), then a piece of cloth  (about 3" larger than the lid) on top and
screw the ring back on.  Decorate as desired (example pinking shears).
