Pursue – to
follow, seek, chase, hunt. Look for something intently. When you find loyalty
in your own heart—instill it in your children or grandchildren’s hearts.
Loyalty to God, to family, friends, their school, and themselves. According to
this verse when a person finds loyalty then they get life, righteousness and
honor. Can we assume that to be eternal life? Eternal life only comes through
Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Seek Him and give Him your loyalty…then eternal
life will be yours. Righteousness is simply right living before God. That
happens when a person accepts Christ as their savior and makes a change in their
lifestyle—in their very personality and in their character. Loyalty results in
righteousness and honor.
Training Tip – Change up the game of Hide and Seek. Write out the word “LOYALTY” on a piece of
paper. Then hide the paper and let everyone try to find it. Repeat the game
until everyone has had a chance to find the hidden “LOYALTY.”
Lord – I am seeking You with all my heart, soul and
mind.

Friday’s Feast at the Lord’s Table
One of my
Mom’s best recipes and long-time family favorite was her flaky pie crust. Originally it was from the cookbook that came with her range, but she tweeked it and prefected it to be her own over the years. So
here it is for you to try for yourself.
Mom’s Never Fail Flaky Pie Crust
3 cups
flour, sift before measuring
1 ½ tsp
salt
6 Tbsp
cold water
1 cup +
2 Tbsp shortening
Stir
flour and salt together in a bowl. Take out ½ cup of this mixture and mix with
water to form a paste. Cut shortening into remaining flour mixture until pieces
are the size of small peas. Add flour paste to blended flour and shortening
mixture. Mix with a fork until the dough comes together and can be shaped into
a ball. Divide in half, rolling out both crusts about 1/8 inch thick. Makes a
flaky two-crust pie. Fill with your favorite filling: apple, cherry, blueberry,
or rhubarb and top with the second crust. Most fruit filled pies bake at 425
degrees F for 30-50 minutes depending if the fruit is canned, frozen or fresh.
To bake
for a single crust pie, crimp the edges of the pie in the pie pan and prick the
bottom of pastry so that it will not bubble up. Bake at 425 degrees F for 12-15
minutes. Cool and fill.
It is
easy to multiply this recipe and make three two-crust pies at one time. Bake
one and freeze the other two for later use.
