Orange-maple Oatmeal – We Love God!

There is nothing - no circumstance, no trouble, no testing - that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause my to fret - for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is! That is the rest of victory!

INSTRUCTIONS

MAKES 4 SERVINGS VEGAN  A little orange juice and pure maple syrup turn
ordinary oatmeal into  something special. If your mornings are rushed,
combine the cereal  ingredients the night before and refrigerate. In
the morning, put the  cereal on to cook while you dress. Double the
recipe so you end up  with enough oatmeal for Wednesday's breakfast and
refrigerate the  extra servings in a covered loaf pan so it can be
sliced the next  morning.  In medium saucepan, combine all ingredients
except maple syrup and  nuts. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce
heat to low and simmer  until oats are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in
maple syrup and serve  with a sprinkling of nuts. Makes 4 servings.
