I have decided to share some recipes here that my friends & family have shared through the years in various church cookbooks. Besides all the lovely family recipes from my family and extended family through marriage. Some folks have already gone home to be with Jesus. They have left behind a rich heritage of fine home cooking for those they have prayed for but never met. Did you know you could do that? Pray for the family members you don't have yet? God honors these prayers. I know. They are the reason I got saved: somebody prayed for me. They prayed for my salvation before I was born. They prayed for my salvation when I was lost in sin. They prayed for me to love Jesus. And, so, I too pray for the family members I have. For the ones I have yet to gain. For the children of my children and their children, should our LORD tarry His return.
