Safe

Our Daily Bread
I like action movies like the ones that Jason Statham stars in. A recent movie of his was called Safe. He befriended a young Asian-American girl that he protected from the bad guys. Several times during the movie she looked up with those big brown eyes and asked "Is it safe?"

I don't know about you, but there have been times in my life that I have asked God the same question. I have had a lot of health issues in my life. I don't blame God for my genes or for me not taking better care of my body over the years. Many of the health probelms I have faced were because of my bad eating habits and unhealthy exercise habits. Just like our sins, we can be forgiven, but we can't always escape the "wages" or consequences of our sins. Thank God that our salvation and redemption are safe with him. We are safe in his arms. We can rely on that safety for all eternity!

Lord, we thank you and praise you for your grace and love and eternal safety in your arms!

Foodie Friday
I had some chicken breasts over from another recipe and thought I would research something tasty to make with them. I found this dish.  Not sure what I will serve it with -- probably some veggies like broccoli and carrots.
