Name: Nutty Rice
Ingredients: 4 c Rice; soaked in water for 15 minutes, then drained; 4 1/2 c Chicken broth or water; 3 tb Butter; 1/2 ts Salt; 1 1/2 c Almonds; 1 c Fresh cream; 1 c Pistachio nuts; 1/2 ts Saffron; 1 tb Butter

I love all the passages in the Bible that take the heart of a mother and then use it to explain other biblical relationships. For example, when God wanted to illustrate His tenderness for His people, He said in Isaiah 66, “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you” (Isa. 66:13). When Paul spoke of his pastor’s heart for the church he said, “But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children” (1 Thes. 2:7). When David considered his hope in the Lord he said, “Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; like a weaned child rests against his mother” (Psm. 131:2).

reduce heat to very low. Put a very thin tin layer under the pan to prevent
rice from burning. Leave for 30 minutes till rice is tender and liquid is
absorbed. Do not stir before the time required. Uncover, stir and serve
warm.

before serving.

A Message from our Provider:

“No one has been misunderstood like God”

There is nothing in us or done by us, at any stage of our earthly development, because of which we are acceptable to God. We must always be accepted for Christ’s sake, or we cannot be accepted at all. This is not true of us only when we believe. It is just as true after we have believed. It will continue to be true as long as we live. Our need of Christ does not cease with our believing; nor does the nature of our relation to Him or to God through Him ever alter, no matter what our attainments in Christian graces or our achievements in behavior may be. It is always on His “blood and righteousness” alone that we can rest.
