I start my new job tomorrow!!

And...what's even more exciting..I was worried about having to go out and buy the black pants and white shirt...but would have been willing to borrow the money to do so. But..I don't have to...they provide them!

Thank you, God!

YAY!!! I'm so happy for you.

Praise God Chae....I posted from the other thread about what happen with your job.....only going to get better.......

Thank you Jesus for everything that you are doing in Chae's life.....Keep on blessing this new woman in Your name...Amen

I responded in Church of the Homeless. But I'll just say Woooo Hooo God gets props.


FYI. I'm trying to axe the other thread, wouldee made me think about where it was going. Good brother. I think good fellowship and a platform for healthy sharing already exists here.

I don't think it's necessary but you do as you wish.

Good all....off to a ministry dinner....

Love you all

and

God

Bless

each

Thanks so much Britty! I greatly appreciate you all so much for the support that I receive here to enhance my soul. Love you all. God bless!

Too cute! and so very true!

We all encouter crossroads in our lives, the point that some pessimists would say "make us or break us", but with God as a spiritual leader those hard times are so much easier.

My own personal experiences have taught me through "make or break pessimism"...and my "new" lifestyle (the preferable one) walking WITH God down the path of life. I believe that we all have "encouraged" paths, by God, but as humans we make our own decisions and that tells which direction that we will go. God is there for all of us regardless of the outcome...and he always seems to steer me back in the necessary direction.

Thank you Lord!

If it wasn't for God steering me after those hardships that I encountered two-and-a-half years ago, I doubt I would be on this site today.

God truly does work in mysterious ways...right nuenjins?

Even the times that you think you can't take ANYMORE, God doesn't allow more than you can handle.

Chae, congratulations on your walk with God...stick with Him, he won't let you down!

Praise be to God...He is OUR POWER!

God bless you all.
Good night and sweet dreams

So true Misty - God does'nt give us more than we can handle, and he does offer a way out.

God bless you to.

Good morning folks.

I saw a good quote in the local paper today. A young woman said: "God tightens, but he doesn't choke".

Blessings to all who visit here today.

Your idea of a good friend (author unknown)

In Kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one.

In first grade your idea of a good friend was the person who counted the slowest for you when it was your turn at the water fountain.

In second grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully.

In third grade your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus.

In fourth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so you wouldn't have to be stuck do-si-doing with Nasty Nick or Smelly Susan.

In fifth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.

In sixth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who went up to Nick or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that is they said "no" you wouldn't have to be embarrassed.

In seventh grade your idea of a good friend was the person who let you copy the Social Studies homework from the night before that you had.

In eighth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pack up your stuffed animals and old baseball stuff, but didn't laugh when you finished and burst into tears.

In ninth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who would go to a party thrown by a senior so you wouldn't wind up being the only freshman there.

In tenth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who changed their schedule so you would still have someone to sit with at lunch.

In eleventh grade your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you rides in their new car, convinced your parents that you shouldn't be grounded, counseled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan, and found you a date to the prom.

In twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pick out a college/university, assured you that you would get in, and helped you deal with your parents who where having a hard time adjusting to letting you go.

At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside, but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you on all you had achieved.

The summer after graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you clean up the bottles from that party, helped you sneak out of the house when you just couldn't deal with your parents, assured you that now you and John or Mary were back together you could make it through anything. Helped you pack up for college and just silently hugged you as you looked through misty eyes back at 18 years of memories you where going to leave behind. Finally, on those last days of childhood, went out of their way to give you reassurance that you would make it in college as well as you had the past 18 years, and most importantly, sent you off knowing you were loved.

Now your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, holds your hand when you’re scared, helps you fight off those who try to bring you down, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understand when you need to hold onto it for just a bit longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, and most of all, lets you know that you will always be loved. – unknown

I need a good friend.

Good morning JB - wonderful to see you here. I hope you know you have some good friends.

Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. - Isaiah 60.1

A couple of Chanukah recipes:


Fruity Pot Roast (I tend to refer to this as Tzimmes)

Ingredients
5 lb. chuck roast
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. shortening
1 c. chopped carrot
1 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 (1 lb.) can tomatoes, do not drain
1 c. pitted prunes
1/2 c. dried apricots
1/2 c. raisins
3 tbsp. flour
1/2 c. cold water
Directions
Wipe roast with damp paper towel. Trim excess fat from roast. Rub salt and pepper into surface of roast.
In hot shortening, in 6 quart dutch oven, brown meat with carrot, onion, and garlic over high heat, turning to brown on all sides - about 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Pour tomatoes over roast.
Bake, covered, about 2 hours.
Add prunes, apricots, and raisins to Dutch oven.

Bake, covered, 1/2 hour or until beef is tender.
Remove roast and dried fruits to warm serving platter; keep warm.
Pour pan drippings into 2 cup measure. Skim off and discard fat.
Add water to make 2 cups.
Return to Dutch oven.
In small bowl, stir flour with 1/2 cup cold water until smooth.
Stir into pan juices, bring to boiling; reduce heat and simmer.


POTATO TZIMMES

Ingredients
5 lg. sweet potatoes, peeled, cut in chunks, and cooked
4 lg. carrots, peeled, cut in chunks, and cooked
1 c. pitted prunes, chopped
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/3 c. honey
2 tbsp. melted margarine
1/8 tsp. ground pepper
Salt, to taste
Orange juice, optional
2 or 3 apples, peeled and sliced

Directions
Mash sweet potatoes and carrots.
Mix in the prunes.
Add cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
Combine honey and margarine.
Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

Alternate layers of mashed seasoned vegetables and apples, dribbling honey (and juice) mixture over each layer. End with vegetable layer. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.



They remind me of some fab holiday dinners spent with Jewish friends.

Good morning all:

Just want to say hi and hope everyone is happy and well.


Our dear sweet nuenjins seems to have been pushed to the limit and was banned from the site.....I don't know if permanent or if just for a lil bit. Everyone just keep him in prayer and know he went out being a mighty warrior for Christ. I know how hard it is to stay civil with what people lay on us as Christians. But I also know that you will get much further with them being as honey then with bitterness.


With much Love to all my brothers and sisters

Debbie
