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

When God ordains, He sustains.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Salt
2 ts Ground ginger
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1/4 ts Allspice
1/2 c Shortening, at room temperature
1/2 c Firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 c Dark molasses
2 tb Water
Garnish: Currants or raisins and cinnamon candies

INSTRUCTIONS

Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice.
Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat the margarine until creamy. Add the
brown sugar gradually and beat until fluffy. Stir in the molasses and
water. Add the dry ingredients, mixing until well blended. Wrap the dough
in plastic and refrigerate until chilled, 1 to 2 hours. Preheat the oven to
375F. Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets. On a lightly floured board or pastry
cloth, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3/16 inch. Cut with
gingerbread cookie cutters. Carefully lift the cookies with a large spatula
and place on the cookie sheets. Decorate with currants or raisins and
cinnamon candies. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until set. Let the cookies cool
on the cookie sheets for a few minutes. Then use a spatula to carefully
remove them to wire racks to cool completely.

A Message from our Provider:

“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
