Dear Mothers,
Well, it is snowing like crazy here in Iowa. Wanted to share also a recipe idea.
I am trying to fast for the radio show and have given up eating meat for a time. Last evening I fried up a big pan of vegetables in my cast iron skillet. It was onions and green peppers and a package of frozen vegetables. This consisted of cauliflower, broccoli and carrots. Anyway, after they were done, I put in some leftover spaghetti with sauce on it. No meat, of course. Christine, John's wife, has fixed this before and it is very good. I would call it a vegetable spaghetti. Of course, now Wild Man had to have meat. So this isn't a meal you would fix a man usually. But I do try to just stay with the fruits and veggies for now.
I am tryin' to stay away from worldly foods. I think we have missed something when we have read the story of Daniel and his fast. Daniel didn't eat the king's food. Or the food of the world. He ate the simple foods that he was used to eating coming from a godly Jewish household. Daniel didn't bow to idols. Not in his physical body or in his spirit.
I get teased a lot about not being worldly. But there is power in hiding away unto God. When you do go out in the world, you can discern spirits easier. Women are more easily deceived, I think. It's because they aren't made for the world and are geared to be sheltered. They are so anxious to please people. This is why they do so well in the work force as they please people so well and have servant spirits. They are called by God to be helpers of men. Of course, the world takes advantage of them. They knock the queen off her throne and get her to give her gifts to the world. She gives her strength to other women and her ways to destroy kings. In her pride, she refuses to care for the baby. She wants to please the world and not God. And the world causes her to cast her princess and her prince to the world to be taught and raised by unbelievers.
Mother is called to be keeper at home. But she cannot cast the idol of pride down. She has been too long in the world and the world becomes her authority. But the wages of sin is death. Death to the family and God's will.
Love,
Connie
