His face underwent an incredible metamorphosis as I entered the room.

I knew from the nurse’s note that he suffered from a painful and swollen knee, and as I drew back the examining room's curtain, his appearance fit such a man. He was about seventy years old, and his wizened visage was drawn up into a grimace that seemed to have been there long enough to carve deep furrows into his face and brow.

God’s Recipe and Ours

God has a recipe for everyone,

I am sure there is one for you.

Take 15 minutes the first of each day,

To lay on Him your burden as you pray.

Use a lot of His love as you open your heart

To the need of others about.

It will sweeten each hour, give strength for each task

And drive all bitterness out.
