I’ve been around the sun more than a few times since I was born. It goes without saying that things in this world have changed…quite dramatically. My generation was raised to be kind and to respect others. We gave up our seats for our elders, we didn’t talk back to our parents (or get away with it), and we respected authority, at least outwardly. Even if we didn’t agree with other people, we were taught that “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything.” Fast forward to today, where people feel the need to comment as rudely as they want, without knowing the facts behind what is going on most times. And you are wrong if you don’t agree with what they are putting out there, so they won’t skip a beat to tell you so. It’s hard to feel compassionate for those types of people, yet scripture encourages us in Ephesians 4:32 to "be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Most days I just roll my eye...
I did notice. I'm guessing you have a good reason ;)
ReplyDeleteI made....was that just yesterday? I made a very veggie black bean soup. I have no recipe because I just read several and then made it up, but it is delish!
Lets see... 2 cans of black beans, rinsed - one mashed
1 onion
1 large carrot
2 cloves of garlic
1 bell pepper
it was either 1 whole or a 1/2 bunch of swiss chard
a heaping teaspoon cumin
2-3 cups veggie broth
2-3 cups water
I made it Saturday too, with out the onion, swiss chard or carrot, and that was good too - but the extra veggies are extra nutrients!
Hope you are having fun!
