Dandelion Fritters

I remember when we first moved to Springfield Maine, a lady in our community had deep fried dandelion flowers and dropped them off to us to try. They were very good. They kind of tasted like fried clams..
This simple recipe, dandelion flowers are coated with a batter and then fried to perfection. To prepare the flowers, harvest them fresh when they are fully open and remove the green bracts. Fry them up as soon as possible so that the flowers are still nice and open.
They are delicious!

New Birth...a week old.

Forgiveness (Part 3)

For the Christian Who Cannot Forgive Himself or Herself;

I John 1:9....Restoration--Repent and Confess to God
Proverbs 28:13....Determine to Forsake any known Sin in your life
Acts 24:16......make right any known wrongs( It is important not only to confess and forsake sin, but also to make things right with anyone we may have wronged.)
I John 1:7......renewed fellowship will be the result

other scriptures for you
Isaiah 43:25
Matthew 6:14-15
Luke 23:34
John 8:36
Psalm 51

My prayer is that you get right with God always... He is there always for you waiting for you to come to Him.
May you allow the Holy Spirit Guide you always.
In Christ Love; Deb
