Well, hello! -I cracked open the window just a tad and the birds outside are singing so loud and strong! What a beautiful day today. Thanks for sharing yours with me.
~FOOD FOR THOUGHT~
Have you ever thought about Jesus' use of time? He had a short life; He had much to do; yet He was in no breathless hurry. He seemed to have a different scale of values from most of us. There were many things which were vastly important to many people, but for those things, Jesus had no time. He had no time to amass property, for instance. But we see clearly that He did have time for people. He would give large amounts of time talking to people and helping them. He took a long time to talk to one woman at a wayside well. Again and again he made a detour in the midst of a busy day to go and heal people. To Him the needs of people were the most important things in all of life. *

If you've got a dollar and you spend twenty-nine cents
on a loaf of bread, you've got seventy-one cents left.
But if you've got seventeen grand and you spend twenty-nine cents on a loaf of bread,
you've still got seventeen grand. There's a math lesson for you.

Bell laboratories announced the development

(It's hard to believe how far we've come!)
*****************************************
I've always believed that if you put in the work,
the results will come.
I don't do things half-heartedly.
Because I know if I do,
then I can expect half-hearted results.

Autumn Apple Carrot Casserole
(serve this tasty side-dish with pork chops and fresh cider
for a real harvest feast!)
Ingredients:
6 medium apples
3 cups peeled and thinly sliced carrots
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons flour
3/4 cup orange juice
Directions:
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly grease a 3-quart casserole.
Arrange half the apple slices in the casserole and add half the carrot slices.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and flour; sprinkle 1/2 this mixture over the carrots.
Add a second layer each of apples and carrots and top with the remaining brown sugar mixture.
Pour in the orange juice and bake for 45 minutes. -Makes 6 servings.*
*************************************************
We would all agree that our religion is worth dying for.
Here is a nearer, closer question, "Is it worth living for?"
That is what we are called to do, to live for our faith, not in one dramatic act, but in a steady succession of days.*

Enjoy your day everyone! Blessings! -Missygirl*
