Name: Lenitle Salad - "Salada Diletss"
Ingredients: 2 c Brown lentils; 2 Celery stalks; up to 3; 2 Cloves garlic; (minced); 2 tb Chopped corriander leaves; (I didn't have any so I left it out); 1/2 c Vinegar or lemon juice; 1/2 c Olive oil; 1/3 ts Cumin; 1/2 ts Black pepper; 1 ts Salt

So, what’s so bad about complaining? One – it reveals a thankless heart. How much easier is it to complain about the two things we don’t have as compared to being grateful for the thousands of things we do have? How can we follow the commands to rejoice always (Phil. 4:4) and be thankful for all things (1 Thes. 5:18) if there is a mere morsel of complaining in our hearts? Two – complaining reveals greater sins. Why do we complain? Because we are jealous that someone has what we want. Because we are selfish that things are not going our way. Because we are discontent and unsatisfied in Christ’s sufficiency. And three – complaining distrusts the sovereignty of God. Complaining implies that God made a mistake; that He not ruling the world with perfect justice and wisdom and quite frankly, we could do a better job. That He’s personally unloving and unkind to us. Can we rightly accept the fact that God has a good plan for our lives, or do we complain in believing ours is better and thus cast doubt on our sovereign Creator?

INSTRUCTIONS

A while ago, one of the themes was Shepardi Cooking. This recipe comes from
a Hebrew cookbook called "Moroccan Cooking" By Rivka Levy-Mellul. I made
this salad for shabbat and it certainly is different. It tastes better 1
day after you make it.
Cook the lentils in water with salt until soft. Drain. Chop up the celery
and corriander leaves. Mix the lentils with the garlic, vinegar, oil, black
pepper and cumin. Mix together gently so not to mash the lentils.
