Thought  for the day:

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you
plans to give you hope and a future.
  Then you will call on me and come and pray to me,
and I will listen to you.
 You will seek me and find me
when you seek me with all your heart.
 I will be found by you," declares the Lord,
"and will bring you back from captivity."

Jeremiah 29:11-1

  1. The "Thought for the day" is beautiful! I've printed the recipe and need to get apples! All the comments were wonderful including opting for blueberries. I loved the Keri cheese article too. Philly cream cheese should make little squares for snacking, it's a great idea!
