God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Behavior is heart driven, therefore, correction, discipline and training – all parenting – must be addressed to the heart. The fundamental task of parenting is shepherding the hearts of your children.

INSTRUCTIONS
Disjoint the hen as though it were a frying chicken. Place it in a large
pot with the onion, bay leaf, water to cover by 2 inches and salt and
pepper to taste. Bring to the boil; reduce heat immediately to low and
simmer until the bird is tender. Remove chicken. Cut the meat from the
bones in large pieces and reserve. Strain the broth and return 6 cups to
the pot.
Now sift flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and baking powder together into a bowl.
Combine egg, melted butter and milk; beat together into a bowl. Combine
egg, melted butter and milk; beat together and add to dry ingredients. Work
to a good doughlike consistency, turn out on a floured board and roll to
somewhat less than 1/4-inch thickness. Spread with softened butter;
sprinkle with the celery leaves and pepper. Cut into strips 2 x 3 inches.
Bring broth to a good simmering heat; do not boil. Stir in 2 tablespoons
flour rubbed with 2 tablespoons extra butter. Cook, stirring, until smooth
and thickened. Add the dumplings a few at a time, sliding them down into
the hot broth. Continue until all are in. Cover tightly and cook 20 minutes
without lifting the lid. Arrange the cut-up chicken on a deep platter,
spoon on the dumplings and cover with as much of the delectable sauce as
you desire.
