My friend Jessica and I were on our
way to a movie and were running a little late already when we ran out of gas. So there we were in her car, less than a mile
from my parents’ house – stuck. I asked
Jessica if she wanted me to call my dad, she responded, “But what will he say?” I told her, “Oh, he’ll definitely have
something to say!” My dad was always known
to have some kind of response – diddy-isms as we liked to call them.
Well,
dad came to the rescue (as he was always known for doing). He brought his container of gas and as we
knew he would, a humorous comment. “Jessica,
honey – the car doesn't run on air. It doesn't run on air,” Dad said as he hugged Jessica and laughed.
There
are so many times that my dad came to the rescue. Flat tires, failed alternators, dead
batteries, lost without directions – all I had to do was call and my dad would
drop everything and come running as fast as he could. He always knew what to do to fix the
problem.
Even though I can no longer call on
my earthly father to rescue me, I can still call on my heavenly father. He is always there when I call on him. His presence is a comfort during hard
times. I don’t always understand his
ways, but I know that he’ll never forsake me.
He will always be there for me.
My circumstances may seem unbearable at times, but I know I don’t have
to walk through them alone.
“Do not be afraid of
them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:8
“You came to my
rescue, Lord, and saved my life.” Lamentations
3:58
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod
and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm
23:4
I found this recipe over at Whole Foods New Body! If you are looking for some great clean eating recipes, it is a great place to visit!
Ingredients:
3 cups Quick Oats
3/4 cup vanilla almond milk
1/4 cup local honey
2 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup all natural applesauce
1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
3/4 cup diced strawberries
1. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Fold in the strawberries last.
2. Divide into 14 muffin tins that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. (I used baking cups, but they stuck really bad to the paper, so next time I'll just spray the tins.)
3. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
Approximately 100 calories a muffin!
Thank you Allison! So glad you liked them! :) Makes me want to whip up a batch right now!
ReplyDeleteThat is just a lovely story...
ReplyDeleteAshley, we enjoyed them! Thanks for the great recipe!
ReplyDeleteElaine, thank-you. One of my fondest memories of my dad was that he always came to the rescue. There were so many times I had to call him and he'd put down everything and come help me. He was my hero - til the very end when he mustered up the strength to walk me down the aisle.

My 4 year old would be all over these! Thanks for the recipe. :-) Visiting from Pin It Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fabulous! Going to try these for sure! Love using fresh fruit!
ReplyDeleteThey are like portable oatmeal! Glad you guys found me and like the recipe. I also love using fresh fruit in my recipes - YUM!
ReplyDeleteMaking these today!!!! How long will they last? (I'll be the only one eating them)
ReplyDeleteI hope you like them! Mine actually didn't last long because we ate them all. I'd say if you put them in a ziploc and keep them in the refrigerator (because of the fruit) that they'll last several days at least.
