A VERSE TO SHARE

Sauces are the best and frankly, a sauce is what MAKES a dish. You can take the Shrimp Sauce Yum Yum Sauce in this recipe and turn yourself into a bonafide super cook. It is no joke, actually.

However, that is not what will nourish you in the end. The only way to find that kind of satisfaction is in the word.

Our creator is here and He loves you immensely, even when you can hardly love yourself. Isn’t that comforting?

Psalms 107: 4-9

Some wandered in desert wastelands,
    finding no way to a city where they could settle.
They were hungry and thirsty,
    and their lives ebbed away.
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
He led them by a straight way
    to a city where they could settle.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
    and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
for he satisfies the thirsty
    and fills the hungry with good things.
