"Who healeth all thy diseases."-Psalm 103:3
    
    Humbling as is the statement, yet the fact is certain, that we are all more or less suffering under the disease of sin. What a comfort to know that we have a great Physician who is both able and willing to heal us! Let us think of Him awhile to-night. His cures are very speedy-there is life in a look at Him; His cures are radical-He strikes at the centre of the disease; and hence, His cures are sure and certain. He never fails, and the disease never returns. There is no relapse where Christ heals; no fear that His patients should be merely patched up for a season, He makes new men of them: a new heart also does He give them, and a right spirit does He put with them. He is well skilled in all diseases. Physicians generally have some specialite. Although they may know a little about almost all our pains and ills, there is usually one disease which they have studied above all others; but Jesus Christ is thoroughly acquainted with the whole of human nature. He is as much at home with one sinner as with another, and never yet did He meet with an out-of-the-way case that was difficult to Him. He has had extraordinary complications of strange diseases to deal with, but He has known exactly with one glance of His eye how to treat the patient. He is the only universal doctor; and the medicine He gives is the only true catholicon, healing in every instance. Whatever our spiritual malady may be, we should apply at once to this Divine Physician. There is no brokenness of heart which Jesus cannot bind up. "His blood cleanseth from all sin." We have but to think of the myriads who have been delivered from all sorts of diseases through the power and virtue of His touch, and we shall joyfully put ourselves in His hands. We trust Him, and sin dies; we love Him, and grace lives; we wait for Him and grace is strengthened; we see Him as he is, and grace is perfected for ever.

Rounding Up Soups & Stews

RecipeRoundUpBanner
Hearty and hot, served steaming in a bowl or mug, topped with a sprinkle of cheese or some fresh chopped onion, there aren't many things better than soup, that can warm you to your toes.
It's the classic dish to make you feel better when you're under the weather, when you've had a hard day or when the weather is gloomy...is there anything homemade soup CAN'T do? We think not.
This time of year is perfect for simmering soups and stick-to-your-ribs stews, isn't it?
So, tell us...
What are your favorite SOUP & STEW recipes? Share 'em all in today's Recipe Round-Up!

From Sunday Dinner at Grandma's, this recipe starts with just a few ingredients and is packed with made-from-scratch flavor...vitamin C too!

Sunday Meeting Tomato Soup
Gretchen Ham from Pine City, New York shared this recipe with us. She writes, "Fresh basil really makes this soup special. It's often requested at our church's Sunday soup & sandwich lunches after church services."
Sdg1/2 c. butter, sliced
1 c. fresh basil, chopped
2 28-oz. cans crushed tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pts. half-and-half
salt and pepper to taste
Garnish: croutons, grated
    Parmesan cheese
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add basil; sauté for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and garlic; reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly.
