"We love Him because He first loved us."-1 John 4:19
    
    There is no light in the planet but that which proceedeth from the sun; and there is no true love to Jesus in the heart but that which cometh from the Lord Jesus himself. From this overflowing fountain of the infinite love of God, all our love to God must spring. This must ever be a great and certain truth, that we love Him for no other reason than because He first loved us. Our love to Him is the fair offspring of His love to us. Cold admiration, when studying the works of God, anyone may have, but the warmth of love can only be kindled in the heart by God's Spirit. How great the wonder that such as we should ever have been brought to love Jesus at all! How marvellous that when we had rebelled against Him, He should, by a display of such amazing love, seek to draw us back. No! never should we have had a grain of love towards God unless it had been sown in us by the sweet seed of His love to us. Love, then, has for its parent the love of God shed abroad in the heart: but after it is thus divinely born, it must be divinely nourished. Love is an exotic; it is not a plant which will flourish naturally in human soil, it must be watered from above. Love to Jesus is a flower of a delicate nature, and if it received no nourishment but that which could be drawn from the rock of our hearts it would soon wither. As love comes from heaven, so it must feed on heavenly bread. It cannot exist in the wilderness unless it be fed by manna from on high. Love must feed on love. The very soul and life of our love to God is His love to us.
    
    "I love thee, Lord, but with no love of mine,
    For I have none to give;
    I love thee, Lord; but all the love is thine,
    For by thy love I live.
    I am as nothing, and rejoice to be
    Emptied, and lost, and swallowed up in thee."

Mom's Mess


Ok I'm going to try to get his posted.  I'm sorry I have been AWOL .  The family has been passing around a bug and I'm getting it.  Started Sunday night and it has progressed downward since.  So between sneezes I'm going to try to post this recipe....

 
I received this book in mail yesterday and decided to make a yummy today from it so I kind of used one recipe in the book and added to it to our family's liking...My hubby right away pointed out the title to me when he saw what I was making



I browned ground beef along with onion, green pepper.  Drained grease then added a can of tomatoes with chilies, a package of taco seasoning, a cup cheese spread, and can of black beans (drained and rinsed).  Warmed through. and served with.....


I put out burrito toppings for everyone filled their warmed soft shell tortilla burrito to their liking.
Toppings included:

  • tomates
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • lettuce
  • sour cream
  • salsa


While waiting for the shells to warm we used the mix as a dip appetizer on corn chips.
