I just happened to make the white bread because I was out of whole wheat flour. I usually make bread using half white and half wheat flour. The croutons also call for olive oil and spices--also a healthy choice. <BR/><BR/>I totally understand what you mean about feeling left out. I was single for a long time and it was hard for me as friends and family members were getting married and having kids for me to feel a part. Sometimes the attitude was mine, but other times, others didn't realize that we could still be friends and brothers/sisters in Christ despite differences in our lives. I sometimes feel like you with the married folk who have little kids. I've got a baby in heaven and now can't have kids because of my condition. (the doctor thinks that after surgery, though that I should be able to have kids, Lord willing.) I'll be an older mom, I know...but in the meantime, I love the kids in our church and our friends' kids. The desire for me to have my own is strong, but I must realize that God has me where I am in my life for a reason. That thought encourages my heart so much. He's got things for me right now to do (like having those singles over:), and perhaps later, will bless us with our own little family. So, I leave that thought with you, too--remember that God has a perfect plan for your life right now where you are. Your ministry today is important to Him and to the others that you share your life with. Well, I'm done "preaching" too. I hope this encourages your heart, as it has mine just thinking this through and writing ya.:) Have a great day!Theo-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10878970592263471629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432020619137502132.post-18965260031642636612009-01-14T10:38:00.000-07:002009-01-14T10:38:00.000-07:00I love croutons, so I'll have to try it. Sometime...I love croutons, so I'll have to try it. Sometimes I just grab my box of croutons to munch on instead of eating something really bad. These might be in the bad category though. :)<BR/><BR/>Also, it's nice to see that you are ministering to singles. I often feel very left out. Those married/with kids seem to think that their friends have to be in the same stage of life. I try to do my part by having people in my home, but rarely get invited over. I have one close married friends that just let's me be a part of their lives and it means so much!<BR/><BR/>I'm done preaching now. :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09203152288202697314noreply@blogger.com
