What Has Jesus Taught You?

And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers. Luke 2:47

This happened when Jesus was only about twelve years old and He went to Jerusalem with His parents for the Feast of the Passover. They accidently left Him behind and found Him three days later with Jewish teachers in the Temple. Those teachers were the ones who were amazed at His understanding of the scriptures. He was teaching them…not them teaching Him. What has He taught you? 

RSVP: Jesus is sharing His teaching with you. Are you listening and learning? How will you respond to Him today.

Prayer ~ Jesus, we had such a good time celebrating Your birthday. Now enlighten us once more with Your teachings. Give us wisdom and understanding that we would hear what You are teaching and be able to apply it to our lives. 

Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table

My husband Jerry’s favorite place to visit for special meals is his hometown, Omaha, Nebraska. Home of good steaks, La Casa’s pizza, Joe Tess’ fried carp or catfish, and most beloved—The Bohemian Café—where they serve up large portions Czech food including boiled beef with dill gravy, bread dumplings, sauerkraut, and sweet and sour cabbage. We were recently there…and now it is almost time to cook this up for our family’s Last Sunday Dinner of the year. 

Boiled Beef and Dill Gravy

3-4 lbs beef roast

4 cups water

2 stalks celery

2 whole carrots

1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped

16 ounces sour cream

3 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons vinegar

To a large pot add water-beef roast-celery-carrots. Bring the pot to a boil and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours. Take the beef out of the pot. Put in the dill and bring the pot to a boil. Then add the sour cream-sugar-white vinegar and mix very well. Mix the flour with a little water and add it, stirring well so there are no lumps.

Then put the beef back in the pot and cook for about 1/2 hour. If the gravy is a little thin add a little flour until it is as thick as you like it. After it is done taste the gravy, and add a little salt, sugar or lemon juice if you like. You can serve this beef and gravy with bread dumplings, mashed potatoes or wide noodles-potatoes and of course, sweet and sour cabbage or sauerkraut.
