A Great Story to Read First Thing In the Morning!

YOUR GOING TO WANT TO READ THIS:

So I was just on my way to work and I had to stop for gas so I allowed myself some extra time to get to work. When I pulled up to the pump I shut my car off and saw this middle aged man crying looking at the gas pump. I began to wonder what happened with this man and as I got out of my car and looked at him my heart felt like it stopped.

In Apple Valley, Minnesota it is 10 degrees and freezing cold with the wind. This man was wearing flip flops with socks covered in holes. I look I his car and see his wife in the front seat covering her face in her hands and the 2 teenage girls both of cuddling under a blanket in the back seat.

I didn't even think and I went up to the man and said sir is something the matter? He looked at me and I could tell he was on the verge of giving up because he didn't even try to conceal his tears when he said I can't even provide for my family.

Without even thinking I put my card in his machine and tell him Jesus Christ the Son of God died to provide for you. Fill up. Something, something came alive in him. He was in shock and it was like he forgot how to pump gas.

In that same moment his wife got out of her car, she asked her husband what was going on and he told her I just payed for their gas she started to cry and came around the corner to shake my hand when I saw her pants dirty and torn. I asked her to come to my car.

The airport lost some of my luggage on my way to MInnesota from California and I had to clean out my closet to find stuff to wear and get rid of a lot of stuff all of that stuff that I had yet to give away was siting in the back seat of the car and in the trunk. I opened up my car and told the lady to take what she wanted.

This lady RAN back to her car. I was so afraid I had just embraced her but a moment later her and her two girls were digging through those clothes layering my sweatshirts and shirts and sweat pants over the worn out clothes they had been wearing.

Soon the father had finished pumping the gas and came over. This attracted a little crowd at the gas station. An some older man gave the family a cub gift card and another middle aged man gave away his jacket to the father. Never in my life did I think I would see this kind of thing happen at a gas station with a handful of complete strangers.

But it gives me hope. That the love of God can be so contagious. That we are not alone in being the change we want to see in the world. That God's love is greater than anything and we get to be a part of that love changing lives. And HE always

provides!

What a heartwarming story.

Best Lemonade Ever

This lemonade is some of the best I have ever

had. I did use a little less sugar, but will try the full amount next time to see the difference. I put fresh mint with it and it was a nice mixture. If you like lemonade, try this. You won't be disappointed.

Ingredients:

Put lemons in microwave for 20-30 seconds

Roll lemons back and forth a few times

Lemons are easy to squeeze and they come out clean

by putting in microwave and rolling them.

Put juice in fridge and keep cool until ready to make

Put sugar in pan

Add 1 cup of water

Bring to boil- Remove from heat and let cool

Then put in fridge (right next to the Moscato) and let get cold

Pour lemon juice in pitcher

Pour cold sugar water in pitcher

Add 7 cups water and mix well

I added lemon slices and fresh mint from my garden

Enjoy!

Recipe:

Original recipe makes 20 (4 ounce) servings

 1 3/4 cups white sugar

(I used 11/2 cups sugar but next time I will try the 13/4 cups)

 8 cups water

 1 1/2 cups lemon juice

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp. In pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups water.

Enjoy!

Suzy's Scallops Florentine

If you love scallops, this recipe is for you. I loved the texture that these were cooked to. The cream sauce over these scallops is so delicious. I used the large fresh scallops from HEB. Their fresh seafood is always so good. The spinach was from our garden and it was so tasty. I will make this dish again and again. I am going to
