Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Do you believe you can be completely truthful with God? Why or Why not? Answer: I believe it doesn't do you much good to be anything but truthful with God. He knows the innermost thoughts of your heart. He is everywhere all the time. He already knows everything including your secrets. He knew the moment Adam and Eve sinned. He knows our every thought, intention, and action. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So you tell us, what if? What if? Should have. Could have. Would have. What might have been? I think a lot of times these phrases are laced with regret and sorrow. What about what if? It didn't happen. What if I made a mistake? I can learn from it and move on. I can't undo it. What is done is done? What if I let go and let God? What if I trust in the Almighty’s power. What if I let him give me beauty for my ashes? What if I let him work all things for my good and the good of others? What if I trust his sovereignty? What if I know he thinks great and awesome thoughts towards me and has great plans and purpose for my life? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Day 3228: September 15, 2021 Prompt: “All great beginnings start in the dark, when the moon greets you to a new day at midnight.” ― Shannon L. Alder Is starting over always starting in the dark? Hmmm! That's a good question. I never really thought of it that way. In some ways, I guess I can see it. I don't think every new beginning is in the dark though. For example, when you give your life to Jesus, then he takes all the darkness away. In him is light and no darkness at all.

PROMPT September 15th We've all cooked meals at one time or another. What was the most memorable meal you've prepared? Tell us who you prepared it for, and the occasion that caused you to prepare this meal, For me, this would be the first time I cooked the Thanksgiving meal for the family. There were going to be 6 of us and I cooked for 2 days like I was cooking for an army. Lol we are leftovers for a week and ended up throwing some out. I learned from that though. I learned at that time, you must consider the people you are cooking for and the amount they are able to eat. I cooked so much food, mom was storing some of it in the car because it was cold outside. I cooked the turkey of course. I made deviled eggs, a vegetable platter, mac and cheese, chicken and dumplings, dressing, potato salad, mashed potatoes, gravy, peas, corn, green beans, dinner rolls, stuffed celery sticks, fruit salad, jello salad, pumpkin pie, chocolate pie, butterscotch pie, and cranberry sauce. When we got done eating, mom says, “Now you get to do the dishes.” I looked at her like you have got to be kidding me. Lol I was exhausted. She laughed and told me to go rest, that her and dad would take care of the dishes. I have enjoyed cooking since I was old enough to learn, but I have always hated doing the dishes. Unfortunately, part of cooking good food is using and cleaning the dishes. I have come to accept this truth with age. I still like to cook a good Thanksgiving meal, but definitely toned down a lot now. I enjoy get together over a home cooked meal. Occasionally I enjoy inviting friends over for dinner and a game night where we will play a board game or two afterward. That is always fun. As I get older though, I find that I have fewer and fewer people to invite over for dinner. Hopefully, I never completely run out of them because this is a good way to break the monotony. I might cook a pot roast and veggies. I might fry some chicken with potatoes and gravy and green beans and a dinner roll. Hamburgers and tater tots are great too. It depends what everyone is in the mood for. Tacos, hot dogs, chips, steaks, and just about anything desirable sounds good to me. I am no gourmet cook, but I can cook when I really want to. The problem is I love to eat as much as I love to cook. Needless to say, I am not skinny. I also love trying new foods, eating and cooking them. Food is fun. |
