Christian Newsletter Special Notice

Thanks ... In Advance

Let's stop for a moment and take a big breath, because it is November. There is still a semblance of pre-holiday peace in the atmosphere and there is still time to relax and either carefully plan, or just enjoy without planning, the anticipation of the Holidays.

The thing I really want you to think about though, since Thanksgiving is next up on most folks lists of upcoming things to tackle, is giving thanks.

Give thanks particularyly in prayer. More prayer is always a good idea. But add a little something to it. Add some thanks in advance. Not just a list of wants and/or needs, but gratitude before the fact. Think of how this shows faith, confidence, hope ... And you will find that it makes you feel good too. Do you reckon it may show the Lord appreciation, anticipation, love?

The Apostle Paul was a big advocate of praying with thanks:

Philippians 4:6

Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Colossians 4:2

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

1 Timothy 2:1

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

Yes, a little preemptive thanks seems like it may be a good thing. It certainly can't hurt.

One more thing we shoudn't forget, is to ask that God's will be done.

Matthew 6:10

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Matthew 26:39

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

1 John 5:14

And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us:

James 4:15

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Everyone likes to be thanked and appreciated for the good things they do. One would imagine the Lord would love to hear thanks for the innumerable blessings He bestows upon us every day. And how many times do we forget to give thanks after the fact, when our Father grants the prayers we ask? We don't want to stop doing that, but offering thanks with our requests, just seems considerate, and hopeful.

On behalf of Christianity Oasis, THANK YOU for sharing in our ministry, we love you all. We pray that you have a Happy Thanksgiving and blessings abound to you and your loved ones.


Croutons

If your croutons normally turn out crispy or crunchy without that nice dense yet still crispy texture, it is likely that you coated your cubes with too little oil. You want to make sure the little lacy 'crumb' of the bread gets 'fried' in the oven and causes crispiness. The proper amount of oil serves as a sort of deep fried effect on the bread.

3 Tablespoons Canola Oil
½ teaspoon Onion Powder
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
⅛ teaspoon Celery Salt
⅛ teaspoon Sugar
¼ teaspoon White Vinegar
Bread Cubes – enough to cover 2 cookie sheets in a single layer, uncrowded

  • Preheat oven to 325° F.
  • Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, or in a shaker.
  • Mix the vinegar and oil together in a separate container.
  • In a large lightweight bowl, drizzle the bread cubes with the oil/vinegar mixture. This is easiest to hold the container with the oil/vinegar in one hand while spinning the bowl with the other and drizzling a bit, then stir or toss, then repeat until the cubes are generously coated. Generous is the trick. It may take quite a bit of stirring to ensure the oil/vinegar is distributed evenly, but don't go so far as to degrade your bread cubes.
  • Sprinkle the herb mixture in the same manner as you drizzled the oil.
  • Spread evenly on your cookie sheets and bake for 9 minutes.
  • Take them out and toss or stir them, then give them another 9 minutes in the oven.
  • Test for done-ness. If you like them a bit crispier, add a few more minutes in the oven, but watch them carefully.

A Special Thank You

It is with much gratitude that Christianity Oasis would like to thank all who have given Love Offerings to the Lord's cause. It is by the grace of God and the Love Offerings that you, His servants, give from your hearts, that we are able to continue to grow and extend the benefits of His ministry to those who are reaching for, developing, or maintaining a relationship with God our Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Again, thank you for following your heart as you have felt led to support this ministry. God bless.
