July 2, 2013 - Rawhide?

GMA, I pray you are planning your 4th of July parties well. I am grilling wings, and having squash with a fruit trifle. I am one of those America-loving girls and somewhere in my day I always do something red, white, and blue. Last year I made a trifle using my five flavor pound cake (I cut into the shapes of stars) with strawberries, blueberries, and homemade whipped cream topping placed between the colors and cake. This year I am simply doing fruit and whipped cream to see if I can build a trifle with only the colors of the fruits??? I may also add watermelon but not certain as the juice may cause the whipped cream to run easily. Anyway - plan, plan, and plan! Be the trendsetter for your family gathering. And make a HUGE container of water and add either the leaves of sweet basil or mint. So refreshing! Anyway, today I thought we should extend some gratitude heavenward for all the food choices we DO HAVE. I know sometimes carefully examining every food item can become a chore, but we should do it anyway. Right? But what about this food plan:

Now I don't know about you, but I'll take grilled (not fried) wings and a fruit dessert as opposed to rawhide EVERY day of the week. Know that God is for you and has a wonderful plan for your life this day. Stop now and ask the Holy Spirit to show you those who are hurting and reach out to them. If you're today, I pray God's best hug embrace you right now. We'll talk again tomorrow, PK
