It’s by GRACE ALONE

One of my favorite themes in the Feed on the Word dinnerware is the GRACE theme. I’m still amazed at God’s grace — and how it’s not about ME but all about HIM. A thought that sets me free from the need to perform . . . to be accepted, to be loved, to be righteous.

Let the lyrics of BY GRACE ALONE fill your heart with worship:

Every promise we can make
Every prayer and step of faith
Every difference we will make
Is only by His grace.
Every mountain we will climb
Every ray of hope we shine
Every blessing left behind
Is only by His grace.

Chorus:
Grace alone which God supplies
Strength unknown He will provide
Christ in us, our cornerstone
We will go forth in grace alone.

Every soul we long to reach
Every heart we hope to teach
Everywhere we share His peace
Is only by His grace.
Every loving word we say
Every tear we wipe away
Every sorrow turned to praise
Is only by His grace.

Favorite Fall Recipes

file0001915537055

Fall and baking just seem to go together, don’t they? Whether it’s an apple pie, a fall fruit crisp (my favorite is Ina Garten’s Apple-Pear Crisp), and of course, pumpkin anything! There is nothing like a warm pumpkin muffin with a spicy cup of coffee on a crisp morning.  Here’s one of my favorite recipes for Pumpkin Muffins (from Libby’s):

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups granulated sugar
1 can (15 ounces) LIBBY’S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
4 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water or orange juice
Directions

PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Paper-line or grease 30 muffin cups.

COMBINE flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Combine sugar, pumpkin, eggs, oil and juice in large mixer bowl; beat until just blended. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture; stir just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling 3/4 full.

BAKE for 25 to 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store muffins in covered container or resealable plastic bags. Enjoy!
