INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE FRUIT COMPOTE
Preheat oven to 180c/350f/Gas mark 4.
1 Line a 7"/17.5cm cake tin with non-stick baking parchment, or butter and
flour it generously.
2 Ensure the geranium leaves are clean and not sprayed with chemicals. Snip
enough leaves to cover the tin base and sit them upper-side down. Sift the
flour and salt.
3 Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Add the butter and fold in the
flour and almonds to make a smooth batter. Add enough milk for a dropping
consistency. Gently pour the cake mix into the tin, not disturbing the
leaves. Bake for 30 minutes until firm.
4 Once the cake is perfectly cooked, take out of the oven and remove the
greaseproof paper. Peel off the leaves, and cool the cake on a rack. Serve
on its own or with the fruit compote.
5 For the Fruit Compote: Mix all the ingredients and marinate for at least
an hour. For the Rose Scented Geranium Sugar: Bury a handful of rose
geranium leaves in a jar of sugar and leave for three days.

A Message from our Provider:

“Some minds are like concrete, thy’re roughly mixed up and permanently set.”

While the spiritual heart is most important, most relationships start off based on physical attractiveness (see Song of Solomon). Therefore, I submit to you that we demonstrate love toward our spouse by reasonably maintaining our attractiveness. After all, according to Scripture our bodies belong not to ourselves, but to each other (1 Cor. 7:4). What we are seeing to avoid is the popular mentality that says, “Get the ring and let my attractiveness do its thing.” Moreover, if the relationships are working correctly, our death is the most painful thing our spouses and children will ever encounter. I’ve done my share of funerals. I’ve seen this up close and personal. So how can we say we love them by willfully speeding up the process toward a premature death simply due to physical neglect? Is it a loving act if our grandchildren live the majority of their lives without us because we chose an unhealthy lifestyle?

Perhaps nothing is more tragic and heartbreaking than the divorce of a so-called Christian marriage. Literally, there is no excuse. Don’t both partners have the Holy Spirit that produces fruit like love and peace and gentleness and kindness and self-control? Don’t both partners want to submit to Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives? Don’t both partners have the Bible, their marriage manual, that specifically outlines what God expects and how they can have a fulfilling, joyful and God-honoring marriage? Don’t both partners have the church which can offer accountability and encouragement and counseling? Don’t both partners remember the promise, the covenant they made before God in good times and bad times to love each other to the end? Don’t both partners what to do all things for the glory of God?
