I ask You neither for health nor for sickness, for life nor for death; but that You may dispose of my health and my sickness, my life and my death, for Your glory… You alone know what is expedient for me; You are the sovereign master, do with me according to Your will. Give to me, or take away from me, only conform my will to Yours. I know but one thing, Lord, that it is good to follow You, and bad to offend You. Apart from that, I know not what is good or bad in anything. I know not which is most profitable to me, health or sickness, wealth or poverty, nor anything else in the world. That discernment is beyond the power of men or angels, and is hidden among the secrets of Your providence, which I adore, but so not seek to fathom.

Blaise Pascal

INSTRUCTIONS

Notes: Original recipe called for 2 tsp oil, but I added one more while
cooking because it was too dry. I also added some chicken broth when I put
in the vegetables, it was absolutely dry.
Prepare rice as package directs. In large saucepan over medium heat, cook
oil and flour, stirring, 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Add peppers,
celery, onion and garlic. Cook about 8 minutes until browned. Slowly whisk
in broth; add beans and cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to
low and simmer 10 minutes. Add shrimp; return to boil; reduce heat to low.
Simmer about 5 minutes until flavors are blended and gumbo is thickened.
Serve with rice.
