Out My Morning Window…

Posted on June 25, 2011 by Jennifer Grace

Every morning I sit on the sofa for my TEA CUPP time with Jesus. As I pray, I look outside and am greeted by my favorite view. Out my morning window I see…

* Hawley Mountain towering mightily, bedecked with snow.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the LORD surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever. Psalm 125:2 (NKJV)

* Deer timidly stepping from the forest to nibble our green lawn.

As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God. Psalm 42:1 (NKJV)

* A berm of soil, rocks, and wildflowers that was created when this house was built by volunteers in 2003.

Unless the LORD builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the LORD guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain. Psalm 127:1 (NKJV)

* Our cherry tree garden planted in memory of our babies Gloria Anne, Angelica May, and Gabriella Hope.

Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. Acts 10:4 (NKJV)

But soon we are moving and I wonder what I will see out my morning window. Will I see mountains? Will I see deer? Will I see reminders of God’s love and care and comfort? Moving is hard. How did the Israelites do it for 40 years in the desert, packing up whenever God’s cloud moved? Were they sad to leave behind memories of lost children and pets? Were they sad to leave behind their dreams? Or did they trust God and move ahead with excitement at what God had planned for them?

O Jesus, help me move with excitement and anticipation. Please comfort all my worries and tears. May the view out my morning window be even more wonderful than what I see today. Amen.

Today’s TEA CUPP: Is God calling you to do something new in your life? To move? To a new job? To serving Him? Are you having a hard time saying, “Yes.” Talk to Jesus about it. Read the book of Jonah and his story of running from God’s call. Ask the Lord for strength to help you move ahead in His will. I’m praying for this, too.

See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it. Deuteronomy 12:32 (NIV)

Gluten Free Corn Bread & Vegetarian Chili

Posted on June 20, 2011 by Jennifer Grace

For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in. Matthew 25:35 (NKJV)

Today I share a wonderful meal that will bless any stranger that stops in, or perhaps you can deliver it to a hungry family.

Gluten Free Corn Bread

1 cup corn meal
1 cup brown rice flour
2 Tbsp. monk fruit or sweetener
1 Tbsp. baking powder (homemade is best*)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup almond or goat milk
1/4 cup olive or coconut oil
2 eggs

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Butter 8x8x2 or 9x9x2 inch pan. Mix together dry ingredients. Add milk, oil and eggs. Beat 1 minute. Pour into buttered pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with honey and goat butter, or vegetarian chili.

*Homemade (gluten-free, corn-free, aluminum-free) baking powder from my dear friend Shannon: 1/2 cup arrowroot flour, 1/3 cup cream of tarter, 1-1/2 Tablespoons baking soda. Mix and store in a small glass jar.

❤️🍞And again He said, “To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.” Luke 13:20-21 (NKJV) ❤️🍞

Vegetarian Chili

16 oz. dry kidney beans or bean variety, soaked overnight
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 cups onion, chopped
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. basil
3 Tbsp. chili powder
Dash of cayenne
Salt & pepper
1 cup green pepper, chopped
1 cup carrots, cut into circles
32 oz. diced tomatoes or tomato juice

Drain soaked beans. Put beans in a big soup pot and add 6-8 cups water and 1 tsp. salt. Cook until tender (about 1 1/2 hours). In a frying pan, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil. Add cumin, basil, chili powder, cayenne, salt, pepper, green pepper, carrots. Pour a bit of water to help steam the vegetables. Add the sauté to the cooked beans and water. Stir in the tomatoes. Simmer over low heat about 3 hours. Serve with goat cheese and corn bread.

Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Isaiah 55:2 (NKJV)
