[His] heart is ever lifted up to God at all times and in all places. In this he is never hindered, much less interrupted, by any person or thing. In retirement or company, in leisure, business, or conversation, his heart is ever with the Lord. Whether he lie down or rise up, God is in all his thoughts; he walks with God continually, having the loving eye of his mind still fixed upon Him, and everywhere “seeing him that is invisible.”

John Wesley

INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe is from my Grandmother Millie Bennett, a wonderful woman who
had a way with beef. We have this every year on Christmas Eve. It actually
tastes better if made the day before, so this is a great recipe because you
can make it on the 23rd and then have the 24th freed up for other things.
Family members can also just grab a bowlful and some crackers or a roll at
any time, and you can just have a little bit if you don't want to get too
filled up for the big holiday meal.
Brown bone and meat in hot oil in stock pot. Add onion and cook until
softened. Add water, parsley and bay leaf and cook on low heat about 2
hours. Add celery, carrots, tomatoes and cans of vegetables. Simmer 2 more
hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper. About 1 hour before serving,
add potatoes and barley or macaroni.
Serve with French bread, corn muffins or crackers. Make the day before,
refrigerate overnight and skim off fat before reheating.
