Name: Ham with Blueberry Sauce
Ingredients: 1 Center slice of ham; cut 1 inch thick (2-lb); 1/3 c Water; 1 tb Cornstarch or arrowroot powder; 1/3 c Low-sugar apricot jam; 1 tb Brown sugar; 2 tb Dry red wine; 4 ts Lemon juice; 1 c Blueberries

Our body’s health directly affects our disposition. You know how you feel when you are sick – more irritable, less social, more self-focused. Adversely, when you can get your body into its optimal performance, it stands to reason that it will positively affect your countenance, attitude and disposition. I am not giving an excuse to act in the flesh (when you don’t feel well) nor am I implying that true fruit is not of the Holy Spirit, but the loving attitude toward others that our Lord desires flows much easier when we are not laboring to get through life. We can easier get our minds off ourselves and on to the needs of others as Philippians 2:3-4 teaches. Isaiah 35:3 says, “Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble.” Wouldn’t you rather be on the encouraging and strengthening side than the exhausted and feeble side? Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
