WELCOME HEART: Living a Legacy Life
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
I know it takes a lifetime to become like Jesus, but one thing--perhaps the main thing--that helps is remembering who I am. I'm a new creation, and new creations act and speak a certain way. My identity in Christ - chosen and forgiven - informs how I live. I speak differently. I act differently. All because of my identity. This list helps me.
My pastor reminded me of our identity when speaking from Ephesians 5--
I am a beloved child -"Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children." verse 1
I am a saint (I'll remind my kids!)- "..as is proper among saints." verse 3
I am light - "..but now you are light in the Lord." verse 8
Recalling who I am, makes a difference in how I behave.
God made me a foodie, too, and I love any recipe from my friend and blogger, Stephanie from ReadCookDevour. I made this yesterday and plan to make much more, box it up in Tupperware and pass it around like cigars! (Healthier than cigars) YUM!
THE BEST GRANOLA
Recipe ingredients/wording barely adapted from Buttered Side Up
INGREDIENTS
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, coconut, nuts, and salt.
In a small pan set over low-medium heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the honey, maple syrup, and vanilla. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well, making sure all of the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread onto the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Stir the granola every 10 minutes and rotate the pan halfway through baking.
Remove granola from oven and allow to cool in the pan. Once the granola is completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature, or in the refrigerator or freezer for longer storage.

Loneliness is a silent disease that kills the spirit without anyone knowing. As believers, we aren’t alone because Jesus said He will never leave us. But not everyone believes that. We need to be the hands and feet of His presence. To show God’s welcoming heart, to assure others they are seen, loved, and not forgotten is our mission as followers of Christ.
