God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Heavenly fellowship with friends won’t be some ethereal do-nothingness where we yawn, sit around on clouds, and ogle at angels. Because heaven is the home of redeemed humans, it will be thoroughly “human” in it structure and activities.
When we ask of the Lord cooly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we “pretend” that we are seeking.
In a large kettle, place onion, celery, carrot, and spices. Clean leeks
thoroughly; chop coarsely, discarding any tough parts. Rinse chicken and
discard any excess fat. Add to kettle with leeks and barley. Cover with 3
qts. of water (or however much it takes to cover chicken). Bring to a boil,
skimming top. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, partially covered for 1
hour. Remove chicken, bone and chop, then return to kettle. Add salt,
pepper, parsley, and prunes. Cook 15 minutes.

A Message from our Provider:
“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
