A Find

Just wondering if you enjoyed the Seeing is Believing video? Click HERE if you missed it and would like to see it.

Got a recipe for you this morning. Really. A real food recipe. I made it yesterday. Would load a picture for you but the last of it went with my beloved to work this morning.

Italian Meatballs

1 package Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage (ground or links)

I was delighted to find a package of ground with NO preservatives, NO fillers and minimally processed – actually that FIND was the reason for trying the recipe.

1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup of dry bread crumbs (I used Japanese-style Panko Bread Crumbs – again no preservatives)
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (yes, I grated from a block of Parmesan cheese :)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (actually I grated red onions – I mean I had already grated the cheese – so why not :)  )

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk and onion. (If using links – remove sausage from casings) Add sausage to the bread-crumb mixture and mix well. Shape into 20 meatballs. Arrange meatballs on a shallow baking pan (I lined pan with parchment paper – easy clean up). Bake for 20 minutes or longer until meatballs are cooked through (and browned to your liking). Serve with your favorite  sauce and spaghetti.

If I had any left I would be making meatball subs for supper tonight. :) Got some flat bread that is just begging to be baked with meatballs, sauce and cheese. Oh well … next time. :)

1 Corinthians 5:New King James Version (NKJV)

7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

via 1 Corinthians 5:7-9 NKJV – Therefore purge out the old leaven, – Bible Gateway.

I am praying today for Nicole and Matt Teague Family. And as many of you, there are others that daily come to my ‘JESUS, please help list’.

ABBA, thank You. Your blessings are more than we can number and none of them are small – they are all huge and wonderful. The blessing of recipes and happy FINDS at the market, the strength and privilege of cooking and eating and serving family and friends. What a wonderful blessing You gave us when You created food and the eating of it. Help us see You in it and learn more about who You are in our everyday blessings. Nicole and Matt and the children and other family members – this is a tough one. Thank You that You are right there with them, walking every step of this with them; and, JESUS, I am asking You to heal Nicole to allow her the privilege to raise up her children to honor and love You and bless her husband for many years even beyond that.  Thank You for hearing our prayers for this beloved family. And others: Pam, Kerri, Dori, Doylene, The Hughes Family as they grieve and celebrate Lillian’s life; Debbie as she looks for a new vision and a new path with You; and wayward children and wayward spouses – all these people and matters – thank You for hearing and answering. Israel. Still asking for peace and protection; trusting You to protect them, trusting You to subdue their enemies. America. Remembering Your grace and mercy and trusting You for repentance in this Land.  And as I close to post this, ABBA, thanking You and loving You and praying that every dear one who comes here to read and pray will open their hearts to believe You and experience Your blessed, holy, perfect, kind and gentle Manifest Presence with them today. Thank You, ABBA, in JESUS Mighty Name.

Blessings to you Dear Friends    +++

You Special

5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’  . . .

via Ex 19 NKJV – Israel at Mount Sinai – In the third – Bible Gateway.

A special treasure to Me above all people.

Yes, Yahweh was talking to Israel when these words were penned by Moses in the Book of Exodus.

But who else was/is The GREAT I AM talking to here?

Galatians 3:29 New King James Version (NKJV)

29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

via Galatians 3:29 NKJV – And if you are Christ’s, then you are – Bible Gateway.

Does that help explain?

Who do you see in verse 29 of Galatians 3? Who is Abraham’s seed? Who are the heirs?

So tell me, is one of those ‘yous’ among that ‘Special Treasure’ YOU? Why? Or why not?

So what does that mean to you? Do you anticipate some soon coming changes as you embrace this truth? 

Just thinking . . . hope you are too now.  

Blessings to you Dear Friends for a prodigious weekend :)  +++

Six Years Ago

Gallery 2 Comments

Reading a devotion that I wrote more than six (6) years ago (click HERE to read it) words found in Proverbs 16 have seized me and will not let go. I don’t want them to. I want them to lay hold to me and transform me. Look with me.

Proverbs 16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

3 Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.

via Proverbs 16 AMP – The plans of the mind and orderly – Bible Gateway.

He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will

What would it look like for my thoughts, your thoughts, to be agreeable to ABBA’s will on a continually consistent basis? What would life be like? What would relationships be like? Would the climate change in our homes, in our communities, in our Nation? Would it?

Any thoughts you’d care to share?

I am praying for Regie today. He is having a heart cath this Friday morning. And I’m praying for protection for Americans who love America and who are in danger from those who hate America. These are perilous times.

2 Timothy 3 New King James Version (NKJV)

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

via 2 Timothy 3 NKJV – Perilous Times and Perilous Men – But – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, You always hear the prayers of Your children. Thank You. I pray You begin to hear more prayers. More of Your children praying fervent prayers without ceasing. And right now I commit Regie’s heart cath to You, for it to be successful, for it to be very good news, for You to grant him restoration, a very favorable outcome I pray. Words are not coming easily, ABBA. Events in Libya and Egypt, the players in this evil desecration of life, Americans in danger, it’s too much for me to get my soul around. HOLY SPIRIT, intercede for us; intercede for Americans around this globe in places of conflict and hatred, protect them please and LORD JESUS please come quickly and soon and put an end to this hatred. And while we wait for You, JESUS, we want to occupy as You have told us to. Help us commit our works to You and allow You to cause us to be agreeable with Your Will in us and through us. And thank You for reminding me of others; thank You for what You have done for them and what You will yet do.  And for each who gather here for prayer, I ask for strength meet for this day for them and for abundant love for You and others in JESUS name.

Blessings, Friends +++

Attended

Today I am sharing with you that I am specifically praying for Poppins. She’s a beautiful young woman, star basketball player, having knee surgery on Thursday. I am praying for textbook perfect surgery and recovery – a return to the court for this precious young woman. And there are others. No doubt you have specific people and matters that you are desperate for DADDY GOD to attend for you.  Ask Him. He will hear. And He will answer us. 

Psalm 34 New King James Version (NKJV)

14 Depart from evil and do good;

Seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,

And His ears are open to their cry.

via Psalm 34:14-16 NKJV – Depart from evil and do good; Seek – Bible Gateway.

And there it is. The key to our prayers being heard and attended by our DADDY GOD – Creator of the Universe.

Thank You, ABBA, for this WORD to direct us, correct us and build our faith to pray. I personally ask for renewed strength and will to depart from evil, to do good, to seek peace, to pursue peace, to pursue You will all my heart, soul, mind and strength. Thank You that Your Eyes are upon us; that Your Ears are open to us, that NOTHING escapes Your loving attention concerning us. And so I am asking You for surgeons well rested and fully skilled for Poppins and for accurate and textbook perfect restoration of Poppins’ knee. I am asking You to return her to the basketball court with no ill residue of this injury and more than that for a deeper, stronger, unbreakable fellowship with You that will bring You glory.  And there are others particularly that I am bringing to You right now – You know their names, You know the cries of their hearts and mine for them. Thank You for hearing and thank You for answering. Still I remember Israel, asking for peace for them and for all their enemies to be defeated. And the evil attacks today in Egypt and Libya. I trust You to uncover and bring to pass the justice that honors You. And not only justice, but comfort and consolation for each violated soul, particularly family members of the Four Americans who have been slain. We need You. I pray for You to make clear the proper response to confront and destroy this evil. ABBA, again I remind You of Abraham’s request and I fashion mine likewise, asking You to save America. Asking You to raise up men and women, boys and girls, that will surrender to labor with You to bring revival, repentance and restoration to this blessed Nation. ABBA, please remove the ungodly that will not repent and raise up moral leaders with integrity and common sense I pray. And before I sign off here I thank You for each reader who comes to this page, I speak strength and peace and wisdom over them that they may walk in each today for Your glory and their own well-being. Thank You, ABBA. Thank You for loving us and thank You for enabling us to love You. And we do love You and we pray to love You more and more.

Blessings, Friends +++
