Mentoring Moments
for Christian Women
November 2005
Happy Thanksgiving!
Welcome to the Thanksgiving edition of Mentoring Moments For Christian Women.
Our nation has come a long way since the Mayflower arrived at Plymouth Rock. God was faithful then to a people who desired to serve Him, and He is still faithful today in our generation. How thankful we are to the Lord Almighty who has provided for us. Take time this month to bless, praise, and thank the Lord for what He has done this year in your heart and family.
This month you'll find lots of great recipes and ideas for making your Thanksgiving celebration one to remember. Check out the website this month too.
Many of you have emailed wondering what happened to the October issue. Due to technical difficulties we were unable to get it out in time, so we pressed ahead with the November edition. Because we want everyone to have plenty of time to take advantage of the upcoming Christmas ideas, the December issue will be arriving before Thanksgiving.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
"I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High." ~ Psalms 7:17
Your Sisters In Christ,

November Countdown to Christmas
by Loi Palmer
Having trouble buying for the person on your list who has everything? Here are a few of my favorite ideas:
* Forced bulbs in a clay pot bring life to your home after the Christmas decorations have been packed away.
* Theater or symphony tickets.
* Gift card to their favorite restaurant.
* Pedicure and manicure - men enjoy this too.
* Lessons pertaining to their interest. Cooking classes with Paula Deen (an expert cook) would be at the top of my list.
* Sporting event tickets.
Thanksgiving Ideas
by Kellie Renfroe
* For kids, visit the Familyfun.com site to print out Thanksgiving bingo, directions for making pilgrim rings, and turkey place cards.
* Decorate home inside and out with items from nature such as pumpkins, leaves, and pinecones.
* Cut out leaves from various shades of fall-colored paper. Throughout November have each family member write down a blessing on each leaf. Display the leaves on the fridge or a door.
* Send the Five Kernels Prayer as a card or an email to loved ones at Thanksgiving. To mail, print out the following on orange card stock (it looks nice with a horn of plenty graphic).
Five Kernels Prayer
The first winter the pilgrims spent in America was very cold. Some days all they had was enough for each person to have only five kernels of corn. When spring came the pilgrims planted their corn. The corn crop flourished and they had lots of food the next year. From that time on at Thanksgiving, the pilgrims each kept kernels of corn at their plates to remind them of God's blessings.
* Sign the Five Kernels of Prayer poem by letting the recipient know what a blessing they are to your family. Another idea is to put five kernels of corn at each Thanksgiving dinner place setting. Ask each person at the table to share one of God's blessings in their lives this year.
* Turkey Poop. This silly Thanksgiving candy treat is sure to bring laughter from children and adults alike. It's a fun parting gift for guests. Visit OrganizedChristmas.Com to print out cute tags for your baggies and get the candy list. * If you have out of town guests visiting during Thanksgiving, don't forget to stock their room with: pillows, blankets, and bedding for the season. Provide a place to store their clothes and luggage and an alarm clock. In the bathroom they will be using, put shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, a couple of new toothbrushes, extra bathroom tissue, Kleenex, and plenty of towels and bath cloths for their stay.
Thanksgiving Traditions
* Start a small Thanksgiving album. Each year have everyone at the table write three things they are thankful for in the album and sign it. One of my friends has an album going back 10 years. She especially loves her 105 year-old Grandmother's thoughts, especially now that she has gone on to be with the Lord. ~ Sheri Berger
* My sister has a tradition of buying a large poinsettia gift for each of my other sisters and my Mom. She brings it as a Thanksgiving gift (because I host the dinner). It's the start of our holiday decorating, and it looks festive on the porch. ~ Nancy Smith
* After Thanksgiving lunch, we go to the movies to see the lastest children's film. One year the movie selections were inappropriate, so we saved our ticket money and stopped by Wal-Mart. We purchased a DVD, some popcorn, and Coke and had movie night at home. ~ Kellie Renfroe
Blessings Brunch
by Kellie Renfroe
During the month of November, consider hosting a Blessings Brunch. Set aside a morning during November to host the women in your life who have been a blessing to you.
Over brunch go around the table and tell each lady specifically what she means to you. For example, "Jackie, I appreciate your positive attitude and laughter. You always have a kind and gracious word to say about everyone. Your desire to bless and speak life into women has encouraged me and many times lifted my spirits when I felt down. Your desire to serve the Lord is a powerful witness to me; you are a godly woman."
Another idea is to write down what you are going to say and read it. After the brunch, present each woman with what you said as a gift. This can be a powerful encouragement to them.
Visit the Mentoring Moments For Christian Women website for the following brunch menu recipes:
Michelle's French Toast Casserole, Grits Casserole, Fresh Fruit with dip, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf, Tea, Coffee, Juice
Jehovah-Shalom, the Lord is my Peace
by Loi Palmer
Three years ago my siblings and I realized that my father's health was declining. Dad had struggled with diabetes for 30 years. His eye sight was fading and blood sugar swings were dangerous. We sold my parents' home and moved them in with my family. I never dreamed that a year and a half later, my mother would be my main concern. Last Thanksgiving we broke the news to family and friends of mother being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
The pain of slowly losing my loving, energetic mother has been buffered by dear friends from my parents' church. They have come alongside our family to walk down this dark, bumpy road. They have put feet on their good intentions. A retired gentleman, Steve, proudly chauffeurs them in bad weather and on Sunday evenings to church. Other families bring meals and check on them when we go out of town.
I embrace the hectic present instead of longing for the past. The future is too overwhelming to contemplate. My children laugh and love on their grandparents. Through this experience they are learning to value and respect the elderly. This Thanksgiving as my eyes wander around the table, I will drink in the faces of loved ones and freeze this moment in my memory forever. God has blessed me with a rich heritage, a gracious inheritance.
***********************************************
"But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure. I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone. Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds." ~ Psalms 71:14-17 (NIV)

Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord is my Provider
by Kellie Renfroe
This year the Lord is teaching me of His provision in my life. For years, I have struggled with the necessity of tithing. I would tithe for a while and then stop for a time. My example affected my husband's view of tithing and led to our inconsistency. The Lord began dealing with us concerning this issue last November. We made a commitment to ourselves and God that we would tithe faithfully. This year has been a year filled with the blessings of God in ways we never expected. No, we are not millionaires, but we feel like it in our hearts.
I thank God for teaching me that when I give 10% to Him, He sanctifies the other 90% for the needs in our family. The times we have been short in meeting an obligation, we have watched the Lord bring provision. He has never failed us financially or in any other area of our lives. While in the past I trusted God with other things, trusting Him with finances has been harder. Now, I know that it is ONLY He that provides for our every need, including financially. This one area that I never could fully trust God with is being filled with increasing faith, trust, and love. I bless the Lord for seeing the desire in our hearts as a family to honor Him with the tithe and patiently teaching us. I thank Him for using hard times to show us that He is our Source, not man. I thank Him for changing my thinking of "I can't afford to tithe" to "I cannot afford NOT to tithe." I thank Him for allowing our children to watch as He has provided for our family; it has increased their faith. This Thanksgiving I praise and thank the Lord for being my Jehovah-Jireh for every area of my life, including finances.

Adoring Hearts
Stasi Eldredge, excerpt from the book Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul by John & Stasi Eldredge
Okay, we've all heard the story. Martha and Mary. Don't be such a Martha. Got it. But we've often wondered what the "one thing" was that was needed. Some of you might have heard teaching that it was one simple casserole dish, that Martha was busy making a complicated meal when only one simple food was needed. No. That is not what Jesus is saying. Jesus has again spoken straight into the heart of the matter. The one thing that is needed is a captivated, adoring heart, a heart that responds to the extravagant love of God with worship.
Our hearts are made to worship. It is what we do; we can't help it. Now, worship is one of those words made sickly by religion. We hear "worship" and we think, She's talking about going to church. Singing hymns. Nope. Worship is far more passionate, far more abandoned. Worship is what we give our hearts away to in return for a promise of Life. Some worship fashion; others worship a boyfriend or husband. We really are limitless in what we will give our hearts away to. Movies, food, shopping, gossip, you name it, I've bowed before them all.
But Jesus is the only one worthy of our heart's devotion. Mary recognized who Jesus was - the source of all Life. Love Incarnate. She did what you and I hope we, too, would have done. She dropped everything and sat at his feet, fixing the gaze of her eyes and the gaze of her heart upon him.
....Women hold a special place in the heart of God. A woman's worship brings Jesus immense pleasure and a deep ministry. You can minister to the heart of God. You impact Him. You matter. Jesus desires you to pour out your love on him in extravagant worship that ministers to his heart. This is not just for women who have the time, women who are really spiritual....Offer your heart to him.

Don't Runaway Away from the Circus of Life
by Loi Palmer
One of my most treasured childhood memories is going to the circus with my grandparents. I grew up in Key West, and this was undoubtedly the most spectacular event to come to our tiny island. Sitting under the big tent with my senses on overload, trying to take in all the sights, sounds, and smells at once was almost too much for my eight year old mind. Pop Pop had us sit on the middle grandstands. My eyes were darting back and forth from ring to ring so I wouldn't miss a single trick or flip. The wisdom of Pop Pop's choice of seats was so we could see what was happening in all three of the rings and not be deprived of the full effect.
Sometimes our lives seem like a three ring circus. Kids going in all different directions, your business life, your personal interest, your ministries. Then throw in your husband's responsibilities and this mix makes life crazy. The experts tell us to reevaluate and cut out activities, but that is easier said than done. Have you ever thought that God might not want you to change your pace or change your activities? God wants your heart centered on Him. Henri Nouwen talks about this in his book, Making All Things New. "What counts is where our hearts are. When we worry, we have our hearts in the wrong place. Jesus asks us to move our hearts to the center, where all other things fall into place...to make the life of the Spirit within and among us the center of all we think, do, or say."
Going back to my circus illustration, I would just ask the simple question, "Who is your ring master?" Are you trying to be the ring master? Shouting into the bull horn, cracking the whip at the lions, training the poodles, making the elephant's bow, and instructing the trapezes artists. Are you doing all of this while walking a tight rope and dressing like a clown? If so, you must be exhausted. Step out of the center ring and let God be the ring master. Spending time reading God's life instruction book, the Bible, will center your heart. By talking daily with God you are humbling yourself and acknowledging your need for His wisdom. Don't run away from the three-ring circus God has designed for you.

"My Cup Overflows"
by Jackie Henry, founder of The Teacup Ministry, an outreach to widows in the local church
"Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup." Psalms 16:5
"My cup overflows." Psalms 23:5b
In his book, The God Who Would Be Man, H. M.S. Richards tells of the visit of a chaplain general of the armed forces, Bishop Taylor Smith, to a military hospital during World War I. He noticed two wounded men sitting by a table on which a bowl turned upside down. He asked the men, “Do you know the two things that are under that bowl?” “No,” one of the men said. “Darkness and uselessness,” the chaplain replied. Quickly, he turned the bowl right side up. “Now,” he said to the two curious men, “it’s full of light and ready to hold soup or anything you might like to use it for. It is a converted bowl.”
What a grand concept this is. God has assigned us our cup. We can choose to turn it upside down and be dark and gloomy and finally useless, or we can choose to turn it right side up and fill it to overflowing with His blessings and then share them with others. We can choose to fill our lives with ingratitude, confusion, disobedience, worry, and strife. Or we can fill them with serenity, kindness, joy, and beauty.
Another choice we make when filling our cup is how full to fill it. Some cups have just a smidgen in the bottom, while others are comfortably full. Still others are full to the brim and overflowing. If your cup is running over, let your service run over. Let your generosity run over. Let your prayers run over. Let your praise run over.
Are you willing to step back, re-evaluate, and let Him fill you and your life up to the brim and running over? Boy! I sure am!
God gives each of us a full cup. Often, it contains heartaches, sorrows, joys and triumphs that we are to experience in a lifetime. If we thirst, it is only because we refuse to drink from that which we have been given. Some days our cups tastes more bitter than sweet. It may seem unappealing to see that same old job, those same household chores. But many times our richest blessings comes in disguise. I think of Jesus and His cup. He knew exactly what His cup held and yet He still drank it. Fortunately we don't know the exact contents of our cups. That’s why when things look cloudy, we must stir and drink all the more deeply! Perhaps all of the sugar is in the bottom of the cup.
My cup speaks to me about boundaries. If the cup did not have boundaries of sides and bottom, it could not hold anything in it. The cup has an opening; it is able to give and to receive. Take some time today and think about your spiritual boundaries. Are there areas that need some attention?
Reflection: Hold an empty cup in your hands. Let the emptiness remind you of your yearnings. For whom and what do you most yearn or thirst? Hold the cup close to your heart, be thirsty for God. Be filled with God. Now set your cup in a place where it casts a shadow, either by a candle or under a lamp. Gaze upon the cup and its shadow. Let what you see speak to you about your life and the shadow you are casting.
The Art of Homemaking

Apple Caramel Coffee Cake
2 sticks butter at room temperature, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 3 eggs, 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 3 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 3 large Granny Smith apples peeled and cut into chunks, 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans, 2 1/4 teaspoons of vanilla.
Caramel Topping: 4 tablespoons butter, 1/3 cup white sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup heavy cream.
Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl use an electric mixer to blend the butter and white and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Beat after adding each egg. In a separate bowl add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Blend the apples, pecan, and vanilla into the flour mixture. Next add the sugar mixture and stir with a wooden spoon. The mixture will be thick. Scrape mixture into a buttered 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
In a sauce pan, over medium heat, melt butter. Add white and brown sugar, stirring frequently until sugars are dissolved. Stir in cream and bring to a boil. Cook for two minutes. Remove from heat. Drizzle the caramel topping over the cake while it is still warm.
Sweet Potato Casserole
5 medium sweet potatoes wrapped in foil and baked at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until fork easily slides in.
Topping: 1/3 cup butter, 1/3 cup flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup chopped pecans.
1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup butter, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
Unwrap baked sweet potatoes and peel off the skins. With an electric mixer blend potatoes, salt, butter, sugar, eggs and spices. Pour mixture into casserole dish.
Topping: combine all the ingredients and sprinkle on casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Mashed Potatoes
8-10 red medium red potatoes - skin on, 1/2 cup hot milk, 1 stick butter, 1/2 cup sour cream, salt and pepper to taste.
Slice potatoes. Cook in boiling water for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. With an electric mixer whip unpeeled potatoes with hot milk, butter, and sour cream until desired consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. Don't worry about a few lumps.
Stuffing
1 large package of Pepperidge Farm Herb Stuffing, 5 stalks of thinly sliced celery, 1 onion, 1 stick of butter, 1 can of chicken broth, 1 lb sausage browned and drained (optional), 2 cups of water.
Saute' the celery and onion in one stick of butter until the vegetables are clear. Stir in the chicken broth and 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. In a large mixing bowl, blend the herb stuffing and sausage. Pour the broth and vegetables on top of the stuffing mixture. Mix well. Spoon into a 9 x 13 pan and cook for 45 minutes.
Fresh Cranberry Relish
1 16 oz bag fresh cranberries, 1 naval orange, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of chopped pecans.
Coarsley chop cranberries and naval orange (include the peel - remove the seeds) in food processor. Stir in sugar and pecan pieces. To get the full flavor, make it two days ahead and refrigerate.
Succotash
1 frozen bag Corn, 1 frozen bag baby lima beans, 1 can of chicken broth, 5 tablespoons of butter, salt and pepper to taste.
In a sauce pan, over medium heat, heat chicken broth with the frozen corn and lima beans until tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in butter and salt. Turn down the heat to low and let the beans continue simmering for another 15 minutes. Add pepper just before serving.
Spoon Bread
1 box of Jiffy cornbread mix, 8 oz sour cream, 1 can drained kernel corn, 1 can creamed corn, 1 stick melted butter, 2 eggs, 1 cup grated cheese to sprinkle on top of casserole after it has baked.
Dump all the ingredients (except grated cheese) into a mixing bowl and blend together with a wooden spoon. Pour mixture into an 8 x 10 casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. The top will be lightly brown. Sprinkle with cheese and return to the oven until the cheese has melted.
Mystery Pecan Pie
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 egg, 1 and 1/4 cup chopped pecans, 1 pie crust.
Topping ingredients: 3 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Combine cream cheese, sugar, salt, vanilla, and egg. Blend well. Spread into pie crust. Sprinkle with pecans. Mix together topping ingredients. Gently pour topping over pecans. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes, until center is firm. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Easy Southern Sweet Tea
Bring 3 cups of water to boil. Add 4 family size tea bags (my choice is Tetley tea). Boil water and tea bags for three minutes. Turn off the heat. Remove and discard the tea bags. Immediately add 1 1/2 cups sugar to the hot tea, stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour the tea into a gallon sized container and add enough cool water to fill up the container.
Hints: For a clear honey colored tea, remove the tea bags while the water is still hot. To avoid the sugar from settling on the bottom of the pitcher add the sugar while the water is hot. To avoid a bitter or acid taste, add a pinch of baking soda to the boiling water.
