June 27



Psalm 31:24 - NLT
So be strong and take courage, all you who put your hope in the LORD!

Gail's wedding day was getting close. She had vowed to lose fifty pounds by the time she got married. She was within ten pounds of her goal, but the last ten pounds were the hardest. She was so worried that she might not make it. She sat alone, looking at the dress, and then she bowed her head to pray. As she asked the Lord for help, she renewed her promise to do everything she could to lose the weight. Suddenly, deep inside, she knew she was going to make it. Everything she hoped for would work out, because the Lord was giving her the strength and courage she needed to succeed.

TODAY'S THOUGHT:  When God says it will work out, it works out!

Today's Tip:  Simple Changes
Always use nonfat or 1% milk and other nonfat dairy products.  If you can't make the adjustment to either one, start with low-fat 2% and work your way down.  After several weeks you will not miss the others.

******************

Low-Fat Sour Dairy Dressing

1 c  1% fat cottage cheese
1/4 c  buttermilk from skim milk
2 tb lemon juice
1 tb corn oil
 
Put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend
until completely smooth, scraping sides down with spatula as
necessary.
 
NOTE:  Use with 1 percent-fat cottage cheese or with fresh, stewed, or preserved fruit and a good bread for breakfast.
