Keep looking for ways that God shows love.

Look for ways that God shows His unfailing love to you…and how you show Him love. Journaling may not be your favorite activity, but just keep track of those incidents in your life and share them with others. It is amazing how we can see God working even in just little ways—like allowing you to meet new friends who need your encouragement…or you need theirs. Maybe He brings a scripture to your mind just at the right time and place? He has done that for me lately and it gives me an incentive to reach out to others. Post your comments on this blog page so that others can see how God is working in your life.

So many people are trying to lose weight to improve their health. I’ve discovered that for me…sugar is poison. In an effort to reduce sugar in your diet try using sweet-tasting spices. These were recommended by Ann A. Hertzler, PhD, RD from the Virginia Cooperative Extension.

· Allspice
· Anise
· Cardamom
· Cinnamon
· Cloves
· Ginger
· Mace
· Nutmeg
These spices come from the bark, root, buds, seeds, berries, or the fruit of tropical plants and trees.

“Spice a dish with love and it pleases every palate.” Plautus
Plautus, known also as Titus Maccius Plautus, a Roman playwright and comic., lived 254 BC to 184 BC.
