9/14/12 Bible Verse

September 14   Psalm 115:15 The heavens, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.   Joey tossed his candy paper on the playground. Patty ran over from where she was playing with her friends, and said, "You pick that up!" "I don't have too. Who made you boss?"   "It's not nice to throw trash on the ground."   "It's okay. I learned in Sunday school that God gave the earth to us, and we can do anything we want to with it."   Indeed, God had given the world into our hands, but His deepest hope is that we will care for it and protect it. Like careless children, we allow the earth to be mistreated. Like a fragile toy, the earth will be damaged beyond repair. What we will do then, God only knows, but for now we must learn to treat God's creation as God Himself would. Otherwise, how will He ever trust us to share eternity with Him in heaven?   Prayer: Do no let me be careless with Your creation, Lord. I love the beauty of this world, but I am not always quick to protect it. Help me to value our planet more dearly. Amen

Apple Empanadas

Wake Up the Big Apple 

Empanadas

Prep Time 

Cook Time Servings 6 Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

1-½ Tablespoon Granulated Sugar (or Granulated No-calorie Sweetener)

½ Tablespoons Cornstarch

⅓ cups Cold Water

1-½ cup Peeled And Chopped Fuji Apples (1-2 Apples)

3 wedges The Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Cream Cheese Spread Cinnamon Cream 1/3 Less Fat

1 package Refrigerated Seamless Dough Sheet (or Reduced-fat Crescent Roll Dough)

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

In a medium nonstick pot on the stove, combine sugar, cornstarch, and 1/3 cup cold water. Add apples and stir well. Bring to medium-high heat and, stirring frequently, cook until sauce has thickened and apples have partially softened, about 6 minutes.

Remove pot from heat and let cool slightly. Thoroughly mix in cheese, until melted. Allow to cool completely.

Roll out dough into a large rectangle of even thickness. Cut lengthwise into two even pieces. Cut each piece widthwise into thirds, leaving you with 6 rectangular pieces of dough. Stretch or roll out each rectangle a bit. Evenly distribute apple mixture among the centers of dough.

Arrange one of the pieces of dough so that the shorter sides are on the right and left. Fold and stretch the lower left corner to meet the upper right corner. Press edges firmly to enclose the mixture. Press edges with fork to crimp and seal. Transfer to the baking sheet and repeat with remaining ingredients.

Bake until dough is golden brown, about 12 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and enjoy!

Tired

September 12 Today's Readings: Proverbs 13-15; 2 Corinthians 5 Today's Thoughts: A Slow Day He who is slowto wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly. Proverbs 14:29 Have you ever had one of those days where you started out groggy, as if in slow motion? I woke up tired this morning. As I sat in my chair and began to read my online Bible, I was even more tired. Coffee did not help. I felt like I was swimming against the current. My insides were trying but my reflexes were not responding. I was having a hard time comprehending and focusing on what I was reading. Even my prayers were challenging, as my mind kept wandering. The day seemed to flow with the same kind of beat. Traffic seemed extra slow and congested. Red lights were longer than normal. And my computer…the little hour glass icon next to the cursor became a great nuisance as I tried to double click through files and pages. My irritation and frustration grew at top speed while everything else around me crawled at a snail's pace. As my day is fast coming to a close, I am still tired and still in slow motion. What does the Lord want me to learn from this kind of day? Several verses in the Bible include the word "slow," but are often followed by the words "to anger."  Why? Because we tend to get angry very quickly. Also, when we act on impulse, we usually act foolishly. The more anxious we get at times, the more likely we are to behave rashly. The end result is not good, not to mention who gets hurt in the middle. We must learn the self-control to be "slow to wrath" and slow to anger. We must learn to recognize the triggers in our environment and circumstances that tempt us to lose control and react in the heat of the moment. For me and my day, the Lord reminded me of these lessons. Since I woke up in slow motion, He meant for me to go with His flow, not mine. Today, God wanted me to slow down, sit longer at lights, and even wait on my computer to respond. Instead of impulsively getting upset, He wanted me to think about Him during those moments, talk to Him and let Him talk back. Instead of talking to the Lord, I was wondering just when that red light was going to turn green. Today, and any day, when you are sitting in traffic, at a long light or waiting for service somewhere, stop and talk to the Lord. God has set your day in motion for His purposes. It is okay to go slow, especially when circumstances pull at our emotions. If you go with His flow and follow His tempo, you will end your day with peace and joy, instead of regrets and fatigue.

Daily verse 9/12

Health Hazard "Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you… forgive him." —Luke 17:3 (NKJV) Forgiveness isn't optional in the Christian life. Regardless of what's done to us, our responsibility is always to forgive. Even as we read this, there's something deep within our soul that wants to resist."I understand God wants me to forgive people, and for the most part I do. But surely He doesn't expect me to forgive so-and-so." If we're completely honest, some things just seem too far over the line to be forgiven. And yet, God consistently calls us to forgive, no matter what. Why is that? Why doesn't God categorize certain things as being unforgivable, the way we tend to? Part of the reason is because He understands we do a lot of damage to ourselves when we don't forgive. When we adopt an unforgiving attitude, it inevitably turns into bitterness and resentment. Someone once remarked, "Bitterness in the believer is like a bullet in the body." There's a lot of truth to that. It becomes poisonous to our spiritual system, and forgiveness is the only way to flush it out and be free from it. The Lord's command to forgive is also a warning against not forgiving. He loves us dearly, and wants only what's best for us. And what's best for us is a heart that's free and clear of the bitterness that corrodes our soul. So if you haven't forgiven someone for something he or she has done to you, forgive the person today. Regardless of the circumstances. Remember, if you fail to forgive, you're hurting yourself. Anything short of forgiveness is hazardous to your spiritual health. Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. Colossians 3:13 (NKJV)

Day of Remembrance 9/11

What is truly sad is that there is hardly a mention at my kids schools. I was a basket case that day. Guido was 3 months old and I was a freakin zombie because he had colic during that time. I had finally got him to sleep after being up with him for hours. I was having construction done in my house and didn't even hear them start working, that is how zonked out I was. My sister and husband kept calling and calling me. I finally woke up and answered the stupid phone. My husband relayed the horrible news. I turned on the TV and saw the 2nd tower get hit. I didn't know what to do. I saw the bottom scroll later that parents could not pick up their kids from school due to there may be chaos, so I waited all day for my babies to get home.  I met each one at the bus stop and just hugged and hugged them. I found  out later that the school district was releasing the kids, and that I could have gone to get them. I wish I had followed my heart to do that. I just sat and cried with them. I will never forget it.

Tuesday Mayhem

So.....went to pick my son up today for his dental appt and they couldn't locate him. I can not tell you how freakin scared I was. My heart dropped and I wanted to fall to my knees. Needless to say all I did was put a smile on my face and prayed and prayed. They found him after 15 excruciating minutes. He had just started tutorials in math today and that is why he wasn't where he needed to be. ACK! He is fine and I am ever so grateful. Thank you so much Lord for calming my heart during the search. I really really had to hold myself back before I unleashed mad momma on them.
