"So to walk even as He walked."-1 John 2:6
    
    Why should Christians imitate Christ? They should do it for their own sakes. If they desire to be in a healthy state of soul-if they would escape the sickness of sin, and enjoy the vigour of growing grace, let Jesus be their model. For their own happiness' sake, if they would drink wine on the lees, well refined; if they would enjoy holy and happy communion with Jesus; if they would be lifted up above the cares and troubles of this world, let them walk even as He walked. There is nothing which can so assist you to walk towards heaven with good speed, as wearing the image of Jesus on your heart to rule all its motions. It is when, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you are enabled to walk with Jesus in His very footsteps, that you are most happy, and most known to be the sons of God. Peter afar off is both unsafe and uneasy. Next, for religion's sake, strive to be like Jesus. Ah! poor religion, thou hast been sorely shot at by cruel foes, but thou hast not been wounded one-half so dangerously by thy foes as by thy friends. Who made those wounds in the fair hand of Godliness? The professor who used the dagger of hypocrisy. The man who with pretences, enters the fold, being nought but a wolf in sheep's clothing, worries the flock more than the lion outside. There is no weapon half so deadly as a Judas-kiss. Inconsistent professors injure the gospel more than the sneering critic or the infidel. But, especially for Christ's own sake, imitate His example. Christian, lovest thou thy Saviour? Is His name precious to thee? Is His cause dear to thee? Wouldst thou see the kingdoms of the world become His? Is it thy desire that He should be glorified? Art thou longing that souls should be won to Him? If so, imitate Jesus; be an "epistle of Christ, known and read of all men."

 Pumpkin Cookies

Ingredients:
1 cup cooked pumpkin (cut in half, scoop out seeds, place cut side down add small amount of water in baking pan and bake at 350 degrees until soft.  Peel and mush or blend the pumpkin.)
1/2 cup oil
3/4 cup sugar (maple syrup or honey)
2 eggs
2 teaspoon baking pwder
2 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (optional) OR 1-2 cups chocolate chips (optional)

Mix all of the ingredients together, adjust spices to your taste,  and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.  Drop by the spoonful. onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 8 to 12 minutes.

*Try substituting sweet potatoes or butternut squash (or any winter squash) for the pumpkin for a different taste.  or put them in muffin tins or bake in a loaf pan.  These are a cake like cookie texture.
They are incredibly tasty (ridiculously good, even), and you can eat all you want, because they're made from vegetables!!!!  YES!!!  Don't tell your family they are good for them.

Now it's your turn to share a link for a pumpkin recipe.... Use Mr. Linky below. or leave a comment with your link.  thanks.








October 31 - Focus on the kitchen, the heart of the home. Cook things with pleasant aromas. Pick a meal the family can cook together - include everyone in a task and take pictures so everyone can remember moments in the kitchen together - test tasting, being creative, laughing and loving. Remove discontentment with your home or family and give thanks to God for the home God has given you to in which to create a haven for your family.
