This morning I feel like saying with the Psalmist -- "Let everything that hath praise the Lord"! It was such a wonderful blessing to be in the house of the Lord yesterday on the very first Sunday of 2020! What a sweet comfort to know that in the midst of a changing world, my Lord never changes!! He is the Rock of Ages --the same Yesterday, Today, and Forever! So in this very first week of the New Year, I think this selected recipe would be a good one for us to use as we follow Jesus day by day!
"Take twelve fine, full grown months. Check to see that they are completely free of bitterness, rancor, jealousy and hate. Cleanse them thoroughly of any lingering traces of spite; pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness.
Cut each month into thirty or thirty-one equal parts, except for one of twenty-eight parts. This batch will keep for just one year. Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time. Prepare one day at a time, as follows: Into each day put --
12 parts of faith,
11 parts of patience,
10 parts of courage,
9 parts of work (some people omit this and so spoil the flavor of the rest),
8 parts of hope,
7 parts of fidelity,
6 parts of liberality,
5 parts of kindness,
4 parts of rest,
3 parts of prayer,
2 parts of meditation,
1 part of well-selected resolution.
Add a teaspoonful of good spirits, a dash of fun, and a heaping cupful of good humor.
Pour love into all. Let simmer in love, garnish with a few smiles and a sprig of joy. Serve with unselfishness and cheer, and a Happy New Year is a certainty!"
Praise the Lord!! "It is Glory Just to Walk With Him!"
