Name: King's Arms Tavern Raisin Rice Pudding
Ingredients: 4 c Milk; 1/4 c Converted rice; 4 Eggs; 1/2 c Sugar; 1 1/2 ts Lemon extract; 1 1/2 ts Vanilla; 1 tb Butter; melted; 1 ts Nutmeg; 3/4 c Light raisins

Though still set apart, retaining all His holiness and deity, God in His infinite wisdom became a man that first Christmas morning and chose to dwell intimately and personally amongst His creation. The God who created stars larger than our earth’s orbit and ten million times brighter than our sun, created the womb where He would grow and the manger where He would lay. The God who dwelt in perfect glory through eternity past would be wrapped in swaddling cloths to share space with barnyard animals. The God who deserved every right to born in a palace to royal people, humbled Himself and chose Bethlehem and a poor betrothed teenage couple named Mary and Joseph. Most humiliating was the fact that God, though without sin, took on human flesh with all its weaknesses and problems and chose to dwell among sinners.
