No Greater Love

Read: 1 John 4:7-11

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. —1 John 4:10

Bible In One Year: Psalms 7-9; Acts 18

---

On our family-room wall, in a small shadowbox, hangs a“treasure”that belongs to my wife Carolyn. Oh, we have things more intrinsically valuable on the walls of our home —a handmade quilt from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Kentucky, antique mirrors, oil paintings, and a magnificent dulcimer from an artisan in the back-country of Idaho.

Carolyn’s treasure, though, is far more valuable to her than any other possession, for it contains a gift from our granddaughter Julia. It was a present to her“Nana”on Valentine’s Day several years ago when Julia was only 6 years old — a small, red, clay heart. Inscribed on it in childish scrawl are the words“ I Luv U."

The little heart is crudely made, ragged on the edges, and bears a number of thumbprints and smudges, but Carolyn has enshrined it in a frame made especially for that heart. Each day it reminds her of Julia’s love.

Is God’s love more valuable to you than silver or gold or any other possession? He“ sent His only begotten Son into the world, that [you] might live through Him”(1 John 4:9). He did that because He loves you, not because you loved Him. And because of His love, one day you will be with Him in heaven. There is no greater love! —David Roper

Love sent my Savior to die in my stead,
Why should He love me so?
Meekly to Calvary’s cross He was led,
Why should He love me so? —Harkness

God’s eternal love is the source of our eternal life.

Oh Ice Cream! My favorite food. I was going to post this on Amy's thread, but it would be nicer here. We made this for the 4th of July and it was the best homemade ice cream we ever ate. It was fabulous and the whole neighborhood wanted the recipe. Enjoy!

Cream Cheese Ice Cream

5 cups half-and-hald or light cream
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 beaten eggs (well beaten or you'll end up with scrambled eggs in your mixture).
3 8-oz. pkg cream cheese
1 tsp finely shredded lemon peel
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp vanilla
Fresh Blueberries, peaches or dark cherries

In a large saucepan combine 3 cups of the half-and-half or light cream, the sugar, and eggs. Cook and stir over medium heat just till boiling. In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese with an electric mixer till smooth; gradually beat in hot mixture. Cover and chill thoroughly. Stir in remaining half-and-half, lemon peel, lemon juice, and vanilla. Freeze in a 4 or 5 quart ice cream freezer according to the directions. Ripen 4 hours. Garnish each serving with choice of fresh fruit if desired. Makes about 3 quarts. (We used our freshly picked blueberries).

This looks good, I love any dessert with cream cheese in it. I'm printing this out and will give it a try.

Saw the good news on yesterday's thread about your nephew becoming a Marine! Know your family must be proud of him.

[Dubya]

Just a joke

During mail call one evening at Marine Corps boot camp, I received several letters from home. The drill instructor was getting irritated at having to keep calling my name. "You must have a lot of people at home who like you, huh?" he barked.

"Sir, no, sir!" I shouted.

"Oh, so you're calling me a liar?" goaded the DI.

Trained as a Marine to think quickly on my feet, I yelled out, "Sir, creditors, sir!"

The DI had to leave the room so we wouldn't see him laughing.
