Winter Soup Party

This is the perfect time of the year for soup. It warms you up from a cold and wintery night and it is so comforting too (especially when you're sick). I love that soup can be thick and hearty making it a main dish or can be a light starter. I hope you enjoy these soup recipes for a soup party or for just a warm get together with friends and family...don't forget the bread and dessert!

New Year...New Self

Feel refreshed this New Year with God's Word! Many people have resolutions and goals for the next 12 months (exercise more, eat right, manage finances...) and these are all great goals and should be worked on (Please do!) But many people are focusing more on the temporal fixes and changes and not on anything eternal.
“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
but the word of the Lord remains forever.” ! Peter 1:24, 25

Let these truths highlight your year and characterize your life...

Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.
1 Peter 3:8,9
