Hey Jaycee .... I’m lucky. Marissa doesn’t think she likes nuts so she doesn’t touch an chocolate with almonds or peanuts.

I felt guilty when I bought the large Hersheys with Almonds so I bought a package of small milk chocolate Hersheys.

The other day, she asked if we had any chocolate candy; I had to rummage to find a couple of small pieces for her Oh how she loves chocolate. She is going to be a typical woman. LOL

Mercy!..more calories than I usually eat in a day..but it is divine pie..Pecans are best indeed.. I like walnuts in my Apple Blossom cake but pecans are my favorite in most things.

Mercy, I’d say...3751 calories per serving........WOW!

Now I know why we don’t make it often!

Are you doing the Chicken Divan today or tomorrow? Sounds wonderful!

Great find Dolly! Gee, I haven't had red hair since the fifth grade. :)

On a serious note I saw on another thread where Tony Snow made one of his last posts to Dita. Am so sad to learn that we have lost such a good man.

The Time Of Anyone’s Life
Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. —Galatians 6:9

What am I getting out of life? That’s a question often asked by those who focus only on themselves. But as believers, we need to ask: What am I putting into the lives of others?

Years ago, Dr. Wilfred Grenfell served as a medical missionary in Labrador. On a recruiting tour, he challenged nurses at Johns Hopkins Hospital to join him for a summer in his difficult ministry. He promised them hardship and discomfort. He warned that instead of earning a salary, they would have to pay their own expenses. But he also promised them they would experience joy because “it’s having the time of anyone’s life to be in the service of Christ.”

A nurse who accepted that challenge wrote this after her return from Labrador: “I never knew before that life was good for anything but what one could get out of it. Now I know that the real fun lies in seeing how much one can put into life for others.” If we change that word fun to blessing, we have the key to Christian self-fulfillment.

Take the apostle Paul’s encouragement: “[Do] not grow weary while doing good . . . . Do good to all” (Gal. 6:9-10). Put yourself into the lives of others for Jesus’ sake. You’ll experience a fulfillment beyond compare.

Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today. —Smyth

We are at our best when we serve others.


Bible in One Year: Psalms 81–83

Happy Lords day to you both.

It is honestly my pleasure to post ODB every day.
It insures I read it and it also gives me great pleasure knowing so many read them too.
