There may be circumstances in your earthly lot which at this moment are peculiarly trying. You look around and wonder how this or that circumstance will terminate. At present it looks very dark-clouds and mists hang over it, and you fear lest these clouds may break, not in showers upon your head, but burst forth in the lightning flash and the thunder stroke! But all things are put in subjection under Christ's feet! That which you dread cannot take place except by His sovereign will-nor can it move any further except by His supreme disposal. Then make yourself quiet. He will not allow you to be harmed. That frowning providence shall only execute His sovereign purposes, and it shall be among those all things which, according to His promise, shall work together for your good. None of our trials come upon us by chance! They are all appointed in weight and measure-are all designed to fulfill a certain end. And however painful they may at present be, yet they are intended for your good. When the trial comes upon you, what a help it would be for you if you could view it thus, “This trial is sent for my good. It does not spring out of the dust. The Lord Himself is the supreme disposer of it. It is very painful to bear; but let me believe that He has appointed me this peculiar trial, along with every other circumstance. He will bring about His own will therein, and either remove the trial, or give me patience under it, and submission to it.

2		Parts sugar
3		Parts powdered milk
		OPTIONAL, small amount of
		Salt, to taste
		OPTIONAL, add a vanilla bean
		To the jar where you

INSTRUCTIONS

When ready to use, simply place about 3 Tbls. in a mug and fill with
very hot water. Make only small quantities and experiment with the
ratios until you get it just like YOU like it.
Once you get the proportions just the way you want them, make up a
large batch and store it in a sealed jar or coffee can, and Voila,
perfect instant cocoa any time you want. You can even store a bag of
marshmallows to put on the top for that perfect evening.
P.S., If you want it to have that ever so slightly oily taste that
whole milk gives you, then add a very small pat of butter, not
margarine, to add a little butterfat to the drink.

A Message from our Provider:

“Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited – until you try to sit in their pews.”

God gives gifts and distributes gifts so that He might receive glory in the universe (Eph. 4:10) through things like: His will accomplished though us, His people ministered to through us and the mere fact that His people are not selfish, but they serve and they are not useless, but they are equipped. Therefore, when we refuse to use our spiritual gifts, the body of Christ suffers and God does not receive the glory He deserves. On a cosmic level, any believer not using his or her gifts is a problem of God-sized proportions.
