Think On These Things #3

Born February 29, 2012 ~ 8 pounds 6 ounces ~ 20-inches

   
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; 

   your works are wonderful, 

   I know that full well. 

My frame was not hidden from you 

   when I was made in the secret place, 

   when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 

Your eyes saw my unformed body; 

   all the days ordained for me were written in your book 

   before one of them came to be. 

How precious to me are your thoughts, God! 

   How vast is the sum of them! 

Were I to count them, 

   they would outnumber the grains of sand—

Psalm 139:13-18

Jell-O Strawberry Parfait

Looking for a dessert that is light and pretty
and won't harm your waistline?
I pulled this recipe from my recipe file archives
and wondered why it got lost for so long.

Just three ingredients.
I made mine with sugar-free Jell-O and light whipped topping.

Think On These Things #2

Sometimes I am the one who is weighed down with concerns of life and at other times it is someone I am acquainted with.  God knows it is not good for us to carry the load alone and though He tells us to cast our cares on Him for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7), he also wants us to come alongside each other to encourage and help one another.
