The road is rugged, and the sun is hot. How can we be but weary? Here is grace for the weariness – grace which lifts us up and invigorates us; grace which keeps us from fainting by the way; grace which supplies us with manna from heaven, and with water from the smitten rock. We receive of this grace, and are revived. Our weariness of heart and limb departs. We need no other refreshment. This is enough. Whatever the way be – rough, gloomy, unpleasant – we press forward, knowing that the same grace that has already carried thousands through will do the same for us.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut beef into 1/2-inch strips; put in a plastic bag with 3 tablespoons of
flour and the salt.  Shake until the meat is evenly coated.
In a heavy skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil/shortening, add the meat strips
and brown slowly, stirring often. Add onion, garlic, Coca-Cola, and 1/4 cup
of water; mix well. Cover and simmer 30 to 45 minutes or until the meat is
fork-tender.
In a bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of flour with the 1/2 cup of water until
smooth.  Stir into the meat along with the Worcestershire sauce and the
undrained mushrooms. Stir and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. (If
making ahead for reheating later, do not add the sour cream now. Reheat,
then complete the recipe directions.)
Stir in the sour cream and heat gently just until the gravy simmers.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve over potatoes, noodles, or rice.
