You Are Worthwhile

FAITH
When Jesus told the story of the missing sheep, some of the people who were listening wiped away a tear because they knew how it feels to be lost among the crowd. Jesus wanted us to understand that we have a Father who sees and cares for each one of his children--that we are all equally valuable to him.
No one is useless to God. No one, at any point in his life is useless to God--not a little child, not the unattractive, not the clumsy , not the tired, not the discouraged. God uses his children.
Our value is inherent--it's not based on the Ph.D. after our name or the amount of money in our bank account. We have value simply because we are. In the eyes of God, every human has value simply because he is the creation of the almighty God.
You belong to God's eternal dream. Now you may not feel motivated, you may not feel you have a reason for living, but you must renew your mind with the immovable fact that you are part of a commissioned people---you have a reason to be alive.
There is an eternal purpose. There is a great river of God's purpose that is moving toward an eternal home with him. You can't stop God's purpose. God's purpose is greater than you are, and if you are God's child, nothing is going to slow down God's purpose for your life.

FRIENDS (we pray together)
Father, we know that someday you're going to take all your followers into eternal happiness. And it is to that day, Father, that we look. And it is upon our hope and confidence that you will return, that we stand.

FOOD
Once you make your own, you won't go back.
Breakfast sausage
Ingredients:
2 lbs of ground pork
1 tablespoon of sage
2 teaspoons of marjoram
2 teaspoons of thyme
2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

Method:
1. Mix all ingredients together.
2. Form into patties and fry six minutes on each side.
Keeps in the refrigerator for a week.
Note: The spice measurements are not an exact science, and what I tend
to do while mixing is pinch off a little bit and fry it up to see if I
like the flavor. This is what I start with, but feel free to
experiment.

Caution: Once you read this and realize how weird my sense of humor is you may think me a very strange old lady!!!


A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed
that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ
depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.
For example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged
and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating or menopausal,
she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth
and a spear lodged in his forehead while he is on fire.
No further studies are expected.
