A FAITHFUL FRIEND
BY MILLIE STAMM
VERSE FOR THE DAY:
DEUTERONOMY 7:9
KNOW THEREFORE THAT THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GOD; HE IS THE FAITHFUL GOD, KEEPING HIS COVENANT OF LOVE TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIS COMMANDS.
PASSAGE FOR THE DAY:
DEUTERONOMY 7:7-11
FRIENDS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR LIVES. SOME ARE CASUAL ACQUAINTANCES; OTHERS CLOSE FRIENDS; SILL OTHERS MORE INTIMATE "FAITHFUL FRIENDS," FRIENDS WHO ARE STEADFASTLY LOYAL, FRIENDS ON WHOM WE CAN DEPEND AT ALL TIMES AND FOR EVERY NEED.
YET MOST OF US HAVE EXPERIENCED THE HURT THAT COMES FROM FRIENDS WHO ARE UNFAITHFUL. EVEN MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY MAY PROVE UNFAITHFUL.
HOW REASSURING TO KNOW THERE IS ONE WHO IS FAITHFUL-- FAITHFUL ALWAYS AND FAITHFUL IN EVERYTHING."KNOW THEREFORE THAT THE LORD YOUR GO IS GOD; HE IS THE FAITHFUL GOD" (DEUTERONOMY 7:9). BECAUSE OF HIS VERY NATURE, HE COULD NOT BE GOD AND BE UNAITHFUL. WE READ IN 2 TIMOTHY 2:13:
IF WE ARE FAITHLESS, HE WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL, FOR HE CANNOT DISOWN HIMSELF.
HE NEVER CHANGES. HE NEVER FAILS. HE NEVER GOES BACK ON ONE OF HIS PROMISES. GOD, BEING WHO HE IS, CANNOT CEASE TO BE WHAT HE IS. HE CANNOT ACT OUT OF CHARACTER WITH HIMSELF. BECAUSE HE IS FAITHFUL, HE WILL BE FAITHFUL IN HIS ACTIONS.
AT TIMES WE MAY FORGET HIS FAITHFULNESS TO US. WHEN TRIALS AND TESTINGS COME,IT MAY SEEM AS IF GOD HAS SURELY FORGOTTEN US. WHEN FRIENDS FAIL US AND OUR LIVES ARE FALLING APART, WE MAY FEEL HE HAS FORSAKEN US. THERE SEEM TO BE SO FEW PEOPLE WE CAN TRUST. MANY PEOPLE DO NOT KEP THEIR WORD. OUR FAITH IN HUMAN NATURRE BECOMES SHAKEN, ANDWE WONDER IF ANYONE IS HONEST.
YET THERE IS ONE, THE FAITHFUL GOD, ON WHOM WE CAN DEPEND. HE WILL NEVER LET US DOWN. HE HAS PROMISED:
"NEVER WILL I LEAVE YOU; NEVER WILL I FORSAKE YOU" (HEBREWS 13:5)
ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURE READINGS:
ISAIAH 41:9-10
1 CORINTHIANS 10:13

Chocolate Brittle Surprise

-
Last night, knowing that my brother often has a sweet tooth at night, I made some Chocolate Brittle Surprise. Here is the recipe since I promised I would put it here for Candice: Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Then lightly spray with pan spray (like Pam). Line the cookie sheet with saltine crackers. Boil 1 cup butter and 3/4 cups of brown sugar for 3 minutes. cover the crackers with this butter/sugar mixture. Bake at 400 for 5 minutes. Then put 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips over that immediately after it comes out of the oven. as it melts spread the chocolate so it evenly coats the crackers. Chill the brittle in the refrigerator or freezer until hard. Crack like you would peanut brittle, then store in ziploc bags in the freezer. Yummy! Amanda makes this all the time and since I wanted something cheap and easy to make, I made this. It is so goooood! Kenzie is at school and I am about to work on my Research Paper for school. Hope all is well. Maddie has ...

Lots going on in the future.

I have joined up with a group of my friends and we are planning some get togethers. We will be doing play dates at each other's houses. We are hoping to be able to do a christmas party in december. i am also hoping that in the future we can have some mdo activities (mom's day out). in addition to this we are working on a recipe book to share our favorite recipes. we are also doing a babysitting swap starting soon so that we can just swap with one of the girls. I would watch April's two kids so she can have mommy time, and she would swap another night with me to watch my two kids. I think it will really work out well for all of us. Kenzie is starting to learn some sight words. She can already recognize the words I, A, and Can. I know it is only three words, but she is learning that is what matters most at this moment. I can't wait for her to learn more words as she progresses in Kindergarten. Maddie came up to me today and said, "MOMMY BATHROOM!" so ...
