“You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.” Matthew 5:9 (The Message translation)
There is another way—the path of peace—and that peace is what we make it—not by silencing or cancelling each other—but by engaging one another with love and grace.
Recipe:
7Up Pound Cake
3 Cups Flour
3 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Butter (softened)
8 tbsps Shortening
5 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tsp Lemon extract
1 Cup 7UP
Glaze:
2 cups confectioners sugar
