Blog #51 – Christmas Gift Cookbook!

Posted December 14, 2018

My brand new MAKE A MEAL + SHARE A MEAL cookbook is the perfect Christmas gift for the meal preparer in your home, the potluck cooks at your church, and those who minister with food to the needy in your community! Every recipe uses simple ingredients, is easy to prepare even for novice cooks, and has full color photos to guide you. I think you’ll get a chuckle out of the Funny Farm Stories!

Still need to do shome Christmas shopping? Find it on Amazon.com in both softcover and Kindle by copying and pasting this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KWJ4P6F?pf_rd_p=c2945051-950f-485c-b4df-15aac5223b10&pf_rd_r=2YVV9MX8CX2DWAT2ZS6J

Here is the Table of Contents so you can see what is included:

“God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for our food. Amen!”

Prayer recited aloud daily – together as a family while we held hands – before eating our meals during my childhood spent in Lawrence and Wichita, Kansas 1958 – 1976.

K. Graciously Sharing with Those in Need

Behave Like a Christian

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patientin tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality (Romans 12:9-13).
