Forgiving

Sweet Marcona Almonds  (or any nut you would like to use)

In a shallow sauce pan, reduce 3 TBSP of pure maple syrup by about 1/3.  Add 1/2 cup Marcona almonds and stir until thoroughly coated.  Salt them lightly before removing from heat.  Empty onto a plate and separate to prevent sticking.  Allow to cool and enjoy with cheese, raspberries, bread, and wine!



Do unforgiving relationships surround your life?  Even one relationship like this can seem like an overwhelming burden to the soul.  The friend who feels slighted, the family member who turns a cold shoulder, the spouse whose trust is broken.  We are forgiven of everything by our God- always and forever.  Maybe this amazing forgiveness presented to us will plant seeds of humility, awe, and reverence in our hearts, enabling us to forgive others.  Extending patience and love to those who hold an unforgiving grudge may help them restore their broken relationship(s).  


"The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook."
