Monastery Lentil Soup – We Love God!

The difference in result between forgiveness that responds to repentance and forgiveness independent of the repentance of the offending party is, of course, that the former pattern issues in reconciliation while the latter does not. But in both cases what is presupposed is that the believer forgives the offender. Transparently, reconciliation is a good thing if it can be achieved, but the goal of reconciliation should not become the cloak for nursing bitterness because it cannot be achieved.

INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe came from "Woman's Day Magazine" a zillion years ago. I
like it, but my husband or kids hate lentils wouldn't touch it with a
ten foot pole. Their loss. Jean  Saute' "A" in 1/4 cup olive oil or
vegetable oil in large kettle until  lightly browned.  Add "B".  Stir
to dissolve boullion cubes and bring to boiling. Lower heat;  cover;
simmer about 1 hour or until lentils are tender.  Add "C". simmer 2
minutes.  Serve in soup bowls, garnish with shredded Cheddar cheese
