Name: Easter Eggs
Ingredients: 3/4 c Chunky peanut butter; 1/4 c Butter; softened, (margarine can be used); 1 c Flaked coconut; 1/2 c Finely chopped walnuts; (I use my food processor to finely chop the nuts); 2 c Confectioners' sugar; (divided); 2 c Semisweet chocolate chips; 2 tb Shortening

When we take the history of a child of God, compressed within the short period of a single day — mark what flaws, what imperfections, what fickleness, what dereliction in principle, what flaws in practice, what errors in judgment and what wanderings of heart make up that brief history — how we are led to thank God for the stability of the covenant, that covenant which provides for the full redemption of all believers, which from eternity secures the effectual calling, the perfect keeping and certain salvation of every chosen vessel of mercy!

INGREDIENTS

3/4	c	Chunky peanut butter
1/4	c	Butter; softened, (margarine can be used)
1	c	Flaked coconut
1/2	c	Finely chopped walnuts; (I use my food processor to finely chop the nuts)
2	c	Confectioners' sugar; (divided)
2	c	Semisweet chocolate chips
2	tb	Shortening

INSTRUCTIONS

In a mixing bowl, cream peanut butter and butter. Fold in coconut, nuts and
1 cup of the confectioners' sugar and mix well. Sprinkle confectioner's
sugar on a board to keep candy mixture from sticking. Turn candy mix onto
the board and knead in enough of the remaining sugar for the mixture to
hold its shape. Shape mixture into small egg shaped pieces. Cover and chill
for about 1 hour. In a double boiler over hot water melt chocolate chips
and shortening, stir until smooth. Dip eggs into the chocolate and place on
waxed paper to harden. Chill. Makes approximately 2 dozen eggs.
NOTE: For a pretty look, the eggs can be decorated with sprinkles or other
candies.
My Mom made these eggs for years and they have become a tradition in my
family.

A Message from our Provider:

“Life’s most exciting adventure: intimacy with God”

For my part, my soul is like a hungry and thirsty child; and I need His love and consolation for my refreshment. I am a wandering and lost sheep; and I need Him as a good and faithful shepherd. My soul is like a frightened dove pursued by the hawk; and I need His wounds for a refuge. I am a feeble vine; and I need His cross to lay hold of, and to wind myself about. I am a sinner, and I need His righteousness. I am naked and bare; and I need His holiness and innocence for a covering. I am ignorant, and I need His teaching; simple and foolish, and I need the guidance of His Holy Spirit. In no situation, and at no time, can I do without Him. Do I pray? He must prompt, and intercede for me. Am I arraigned by Satan at the divine tribunal. He must be my Advocate. Am I in affliction? He must be my Helper. Am I persecuted by the world? He must defend me. When I am forsaken, He must be my support; when I am dying, my life; when moldering in the grave, my Resurrection. Well, then, I will rather part with all the world, and all that it contains, than with Thee, my Savior.

Gotthold Lessing
