God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
In His Word, [God] has given us a basic philosophy of child raising. In the Scriptures He has delineated for us the goals, the plans, the strategy, the standards by which we should raise our children. We do not need to shoot from the hip, we do not need to fly by the seat of our pants; we do not need to lean to our own understanding or the understanding of other fallible men in this matter. We have the infallible Word of God to answer our questions, settle our disputes, and be our guide. Conflicts, disagreements, differences of opinion can be settled by couples who are willing to make the Word of God, not their own ideas or feelings or opinions, their final authority in the matter of raising children.
In 1 Peter 1:6 we read, “In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials.” Only in the Christian faith can we speak of joy and distress in the same sentence! You see, if my faith is to be pure faith, it will weather the fiery tested when tried. And how is that faith proven? It keeps trusting God and thus greatly rejoicing, even when experiencing distress.
1. Cut small, soft gumdrops into 4 to 5 pieces each. (Do not use
licorice-flavored candies.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9
x 9 x 2 inch pan. 2. Sift flour with baking powder, salt and spices. Set
aside. 3. Place shortening, brown sugar, egg and vanilla into large bowl.
Use an electric mixer set at medium speed to beat mixture until light and
fluffy. Add half the flour mixture and the evaporated milk and beat until
smooth. Stir in remaining flour mixture until well combined. Add gumdrops
and coarsely chopped walnuts (or pecans), mixing well. 4. Spread evenly in
prepared pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center
comes out clean. Remove pan to wire rack and cool partially. Cut into bars
while still warm. Sprinkle lightly with sifted confectioner's sugar.
Yield: about 20 bars.
