We must understand how to separate our “who” from our “do.” What we do does not gain us God’s affection. Who we are by virtue of His unconditional love constrains us through the power of our gratitude to obey Him. If we ever invert these relationships (as is the instinctive, natural impulse of all humanity) by assuming that who we are before God is a consequence of what we do for Him, then we make God’s love conditional and our security questionable.

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

1 ea specified ingredients (follows)
Split and clean butternut or acorn squash. Cook face down on oiled pan in
350 F oven for about 30 mins or until tender.
While doing that, assemble:
Enough cooked wild rice for the number of squash to be stuffed. Some golden
delicious apples, peeled and cubed. A mirepoix made from chopped onions,
chopped celery and chopped carrots, saut.ed in a little sesame oil. (At
least one medium onion, one rib of celery and one small carrot per two
persons; 1 tsp sesame oil and 1+ of canola oil.) A handful of dark raisins
A few chopped pecans or walnuts A dash or two of ground cloves A splash of
dry vermouth, sherry or madeira Enough frozen orange juice concentrate to
moisten the above Some good toasted bread or muffin crumbs.
Prepare the mirepoix by cooking onions in oil, adding carrots, and then
adding celery. Chop the apples. If delayed, mix OJ concentrate with apples
to prevent discoloration. Mix all ingredients. Season to taste. Stuff into
squash, top with crumbs and return to 350 F oven until thoroughly hot to
cook out the alcohol.
Almost everything above is optional, but the magic is in the cloves,
vermouth and OJ. The taste is savory sweet and the texture is slightly
crunchy, both of which nicely complement the squash. Bon app.tit!
