Here it is, early Monday morning and I’m looking at those wonderful chicken wings. They look so good. Do you heat them in the oven or how do you do yours. I’d like to pick up some of those if you say they’re good. I love wings!! And I always want “easy”. Know what I mean? Lt me know when you can!!

The Gift Of Remembering

August 19, 2013

During seminary, I worked in a nursing home. As I spent time talking to these men and women, at some point nearly every patient would describe the loneliness of their present lives and the realization that they were outliving their peers. Most wondered if anyone would remember them when they passed from this life.

It isn’t just the elderly who can feel lonely and forgotten. In fact, many of us feel trapped and alone, set aside by circumstances fair and unfair. Sometimes we even experience what the Old Testament character Joseph did: people failing to remember us when there’s every reason they should.

Genesis 40 describes Joseph’s experiences as he’s trapped in prison. The cupbearer had been freed and returned to the king’s service, just as Joseph told him would happen (vv.9-13). Joseph had asked to be mentioned to Pharaoh, but the cupbearer forgot him (vv.14,23).

We may feel forgotten. Yet, like Joseph, we are not (42:9-13). Jesus sits at the right hand of God, and our prayers reach the throne of the King without fail because our Savior is our Mediator. When we feel alone, let’s remember to rest in the confidence of Jesus’ promise to be with us forever (Matt. 28:20).

Lord, let me be found serving others, as Joseph
did, in those hours when I feel most forgotten.
May I never be the “cupbearer” who fails to bring
the lonely and hurting to Your attention in prayer.
Jesus never abandons or forgets His own.

Read: Genesis 40:1-14,23

Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. —Genesis 40:23
Bible in a Year:
Psalms 103-104; 1 Corinthians 2

I get what you mean...but the Dollar Tree still has everything for a dollar. I prowl there at every opportunity. The Dollar General has prices way beyond its limited dollar selection....and its stores are always a disjointed mess, so I don't shop there.

Hi, JC! Re: the TGI Friday’s chicken wings - just follow the directions on the box. (If I’m in a hurry, I thaw out a few in the microwave.) I put them on a rack on a cookie sheet that is lined with tin foil.

The sauce that comes with them is a bit spicy, but VERY good. I put some sauce on them about five minutes before they are done, and pop them back in the oven. That heats up the sauce, and coats the chicken well.

(Throw the tinfoil out, and all you have to wash is the rack.) Easy clean-up and yummy eating.

Good morning, Meg!
I will try to be more like the sunflower.
Feeling tired and crabby this morning.
I’ll try some Happy, Happy, Happy, attitude instead.
I have lots of weeding to do. Big weeds.
Thistles, not sunflowers!

Good Morning, TCP

Thistles! Wear thick gloves. I don’t recall ever managing a smiley face while weeding....until it was done.

I love the TGIF chicken wings already coated with honey BBQ sauce! They're really meaty so five or six are enough for me. Put the rest in a baggie to freeze and use with your next box. I keep several boxes on hand.

I, too, put them on a small cookie-type pan lined with a piece of pop-up aluminum foil (one dollar a box at Dollar Tree, you'll never be without them again!) and bake according to instructions on the box. If the wings are right out of the freezer I give them about 4-5 more minutes.

I serve with a baked potato with butter, chives and McCormick Bac'n Pieces (best) on top, a fresh fruit salad made in the morning.....and a French hard roll (baked frozen after rubbing butter all over and grinding sea salt (not too much) on top and bottom plus a few caraway seeds on top)

This makes for a fast, easy dinner with little clean-up.

I LUV those BBQ'd wings, yum, yum.
