Always Faithful

So this week I am back to preparing an offertory for Sunday.

I have found that when the words of the hymn really mean something to me,

my nerves are lessened.

This week, I am dwelling on the words to 

"Great is Thy Faithfulness"

“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.  “Great is Thy faithfulness!”  “Great is Thy faithfulness!” Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— “Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me! Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

The world is ever-changing,

but He is faithful.

Sticking Power

Happy Labor Day, ALL!

We are enjoying a day off in celebration of all of hubby's daily labors.

I did a little babysitting this morning,

but then we enjoyed the afternoon together and even got to the big city of Asheville!

On another note ... MUFFINS!

Muffins are just convenient.

They are portion controlled.

They usually travel fairly well.

They cover snacks or meals.

It's a win-win when they are not sugar bombs.

So here's one with some sticking power - 

whole grains and protein - 

oh, and some veggies too!

We enjoyed them for breakfast - 

but they also make great snacks and/or small lunches.

Protein Muffins

8 slices bacon (I use precooked chicken bacon)

3 eggs
