He Giveth More Grace

What a beautiful song. This has been on my heart lately after hearing about Darlene Rose's testimony about being a POW in WW2. This song was one among many that she had memorized as a child, along with lots of scripture. She said "How many of you would manage if your bible was taken away tomorrow". He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater, He sendeth more strength as our labors increase; To added afflictions He addeth His mercy, To multiplied trials He multiplies peace. When we have exhausted our store of endurance, When our strength has failed ere the day is half done, When we reach the end of our hoarded resources Our Father’s full giving is only begun. Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision, Our God ever yearns His resources to share; Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing; The Father both thee and thy load will upbear. His love has no limits, His grace has no measure, His power no boundary known unto men; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

Finding Forgiveness

I just listened to this Focus on the Family. What a powerful testimony. I wept. I have never been in the situation of having an abortion or even considering it, but the underlying message of forgiveness is still amzingly powerful.

Cheese and sourdough

I just realized that I had uploaded these photos to write a blog post, the date is a month ago, so I had better start typing. So I can put up some more posts, I seem to have hundreds of ideas in my head, I just don't have the time. I have been learning how to make cheese. Sarah and I did a one day cheese making course at Laurel hill Forest Lodge. Our instructor said that we should put a day a week aside to make cheese, so when I got home I got online and ordered my starters, rennet, mould, thermometer. I got some dairy sanitiser and went to work. First I set up the bowl with sanitiser and a bowl with cool boiled water, then made up some starter culture. My bench was looking crowded. Then I went to work pastuerizing the milk, I did three lots one for camembert, one for haloumi, and one for caerphilly. I was wanting to make cheeses for christmas.

This is boiling the when to cook the haloumi.

The haloumi just before I put it in the hot whey.

Camembert draining

Caerphilly draining

The next mornings breakfast. Fried Haloumi.....

Fresh from the oven, stond ground whole wheat sour dough bread.......

And fresh free range organic scrambled eggs. Can breakfast get much better.

Hopefully it wont take me long to get up some photos of the finished cheeses and some more sour dough treats that I made for christmas.
