Kleftiko With Redcurrant Glaze

Some are greatly affected when in company; but have nothing that bears any manner of proportion to it in secret, in close meditation, prayer and conversing with God when alone, and separated from the world. A true Christian doubtless delights in religious fellowship and Christian conversation, and finds much to affect his heart in it; but he also delights at times to retire from all mankind, to converse with God in solitude. And this also has peculiar advantages for fixing his heart, and engaging his affections. True religion disposes persons to be much alone in solitary places for holy meditation and prayer… It is the nature of true grace, however it loves Christian society in its place, in a peculiar manner to delight in retirement, and secret converse with God.

NOTES : A Greek-style recipe for slow roasted lamb. The Farm Assured
label guarantees that the lamb has been reared to the highest welfare
standards in the uplands of Wales to give a tasty, premium quality
cut. Traditionally this recipe serves two, a half blade each, but we
suggest serving it between four, together with Greek salad and pitta
bread.  Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
