September 3


Malachi 3:6 - NLT
I am the Lord, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed.

God was such a big help when Gwen began her diet, but He didn't seem to care much anymore. Lately, Gwen's diet had become almost intolerable. She began to wonder if God knew what she was going through. She had prayed daily when she started her diet, and it had gotten so easy that she really didn't need to pray all the time. Then, it started getting harder. Why did God let that happen? Poor Gwen never realized that God hadn't changed, but she had. She included God all the time at first, then she left Him out more and more. God will help us just as much as we allow Him to. Often we are our own, and God's, worst enemy when we take our lives out of God's hands and put them into our own.

Today's Thought:  God and I are dieting together!

Today's Tip:  Allergy Times

Pollen counts are often highest during the late morning and early evening. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, try to stay indoors in air conditioning during these times. For more information on allergies, see your physician.

Deviled Eggs

4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 tbsp finely chopped chutney
2 tsp reduced-calorie mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp salt

Remove the yolks from the egg halves; set the whites aside. In a medium bowl, mash the egg yolks with a fork; mix in the chutney, mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne and salt. Spoon (or use pastry bag) the yolk mixture into the egg white halves.  Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
