Bread and Beauty

Flour is bland at best and really inedible eaten by the cupful. Sugar, while sweet, is too much to take straight by the cup. Leavening is awfully bitter tasting and salt would make you sick if you ate it by the spoonful. But each ingredient comes together for something wonderfully satisfying. The next time you’re not sure if the situations in your life are going to work out, bake some bread and thank God for each individual ingredient and remember that when you’re called according to His purposes, He makes all things beautiful in their time.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 “God makes all things beautiful in their time.”

Recipe:
Mix 3 cups sifted flour, 1/3 C sugar, 1½ tsp salt, 3 tsp baking powder, 12 oz dark beer. Combine. The batter will be tacky and lumpy – do not overmix. Spoon into greased loaf pan. Pour over with ½ cup melted butter. Bake for one hour at 375°. Cool 15 min. Serve with a side of Thanksgiving and a heart of Worship. God is good.
