Listen for the song of the birds early in the morning. Listen for the sounds of the crickets when the sun goes down. We are not alone the Lord sings to us always if we will listen for the song.

Love all the ingredients in this recipe. But, I stopped buying rice since the News indicated that along with apple juice, now rice also contains arsenic. Scarry. It didn't say which kind of rice. I should do more research on this before I give up things I like but if it was on the News then I consider it to be trustworthy information. Hugs, Rose
