We Love God!

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

Kent and Barbara Hughes suggest the following to built family affection: 1. “The best possible foundation for building affection: love for God…We are able to love God and others through the reception of God’s love. Loving God is what makes other loves endure. This discipline, the day-to-day empowerment to live out this love for people who aren’t always “lovable,” is what fosters the ongoing growth of affection.” 2. “It is essential, then, if a family is to develop the bonds of affection, that the children have the assurance of their parents’ love for one another.” 3. “An obvious place to enhance family affection is at the dinner table. That is the single best daily opportunity families have for all gathering together…We encourage you never to surrender that choice time, for it is an unsurpassed opportunity to build family life.” 4. “Family vacations were at the heart of building the Hughes clan’s affections…we made disciplined investment in family vacations…Sometimes brief, spontaneous mini-vacations can (also) have important results in developing family unity and affection.” 5. “Mutual interests builds affection…Wise parents know this and look for a common interest or adopt their children’s interests as their own.” 6. “Families that learn to appreciate their points of uniqueness and to chuckle at their idiosyncrasies pull together in affection rather than apart in irritation.” 7. “The home is the place to be sentimental, corny, even weird for the sake of affection.” 8. “Wise parents who wish to enhance familial bonds will do their best to keep up the communication with grandparents and spent time with them if possible. Few things can be more elevating to family than loving affection extended across generations.” (Kent and Barbara Hughes).

The purpose of all idolatry is to manipulate the idol for our own benefit. This means that we don’t want to be ruled by idols. Instead, we want to use them… Idolaters want nothing above themselves, including their idols. Their fabricated gods are intended to be mere puppet kings, means to an end… Idols, however, do not cooperate. Rather than mastering our idols, we become enslaved by them and begin to look like them. As idols are deaf, dumb, blind, utterly senseless, and irrational, so “those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them” (Psalm 115:8)… How can these lifeless idols exert so much power? They dominate because of a powerful but quiet presence that hides behind every idol, Satan himself.

    INGREDIENTS

    2 1/2 c Frozen Corn Kernels
    3/4 c Orzo
    1 c Quinoa
    10 c Water
    4 tb Nonfat Veg Chicken Broth; Low Sod, *Note
    4 Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast Halves; **Note
    2 Shallots; Chopped Fine
    1 Clove Garlic; Minced
    1/2 ts Canola Oil
    2 Bay Leaves
    1/2 ts Dried Thyme
    1/2 ts Dried Oregano
    1/2 ts Dried Marjoram

    INSTRUCTIONS

    *NOTE: I used 4 Tbsp nonfat vegetarian chicken broth that I get at Whole
Foods in the bulk bins. It has the best flavor of any I have ever tasted.
You could use a combination of liquid canned broth and powdered broth to
give the canned broth more flavor. **NOTE: I sliced the chicken breast
halves into 1/2" wide slices and then diagonally cut the slices to a little
larger then bite size (do it how you prefer it)
Cook over med-high heat in nonstick skillet the prepared chicken strips in
the canola oil. Add the shallot and garlic and cook till the chicken
doesn't look pink. Be careful to not overcook the chicken or it will become
tough. It took about 8 - 10 minutes for me to accomplish this part.
Put the frozen corn kernels and orzo into the soup pot.
Rinse the quinoa very, very well in a strainer under continuous running
cool water. When the draining water runs clear then drain the quinoa and
add it to the pot.
Add the vegetarian chicken broth (or nonfat chicken broth), water, bay
leaves and seasonings to the pot.
Bring to a boil and then lower to a moderate simmer. Cook for 30 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper if desired.
We thought this tasted wonderful. It was nice and thick and wonderful for a
winter meal.
