Good Morning!
I don’t know what I am eating … but it shore tastes good!!!
Daughter Heather visited her Mom and me Saturday, bearing gifts of healthy food. Three bean salad, tabuloue (?), some kind of salad with bread and tomatoes and basil and some type of berries; Nadine’s Chicken salad; Nadine’s Pimento Cheese, a Turkey meatloaf, fresh baked breads and a whoopee pie. I have had a taste of everything and have gone back for seconds more than once – yum.
Miss N came home from the hospital yesterday at 3 p.m. We won’t know the results of the pathology report for a few more days but she has to get in touch with an oncologist tomorrow. So the recovery begins and we are faced with some apprehension. Still, we know that all of these things work together for good for us.
All of us have “post” verses in the Scriptures … you know, those verses you grab ahold of and cling to through the storms of life. Some would say these are crutches. Okay – so they are crutches – all I know is that when I am faced with a problem, these verses help me. Here is one of my crutch verses:
Romans 8:31-39 (English Standard Version)
God’s Everlasting Love
31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised— who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36As it is written,
"For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Okay, so its not just one verse … but it is a clear statement of the faith we can have in Christ Jesus our Lord. Nothing will separate us from His love – not even death. I know some of my friends are going through a valley today – grab hold to this promise – focus on it – praise God for His promise. It is a great post to hold to … isn’t it?
What are some of your post verses? I sure would like to know. Send an email to fatdad5@comcast.net.
Agape’

You're eating panzanella with wheatberries, tomatoes, bread and tomatoes in olive oil and red wine vinegar. Taboule - bulgur wheat with lemon juice and olive oil. Wheatberries with apples, nutmeg, cinnamon (because it lowers your blood pressure) and apple cider vinegar. Turkey veggie meatloaf that includes mushed chickpeas, ground flax, turnips, apples, peppers and onions... the three bean salad has peppers, diced turnips, cilantro, black bean, red bean, northern beans, red wine vinegar and olive oil. It's all good for you... except the whoopie pie... but everyone needs a treat every now and then. Love you Pop!

scratch that... panzanella has BASIL instead of tomatoes twice. Still early.
