Lasting Light Poetry March 7, 2003
Hello Friends ~ I'm back to share a new poem and some good things with you today. My new poem is called "Why" and it's about those times we question the rhyme and reason of things. I have used a classic painting and classical music. Relax, and have a look.
Why? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Deja Vu or Maybe New ~ "Escape" is a light hearted poem about daydreams. I hope it will give you a smile. ~ In these uncertain times we need a source of solace and strength. Whatever happens, please remember to "Keep The Faith". ~ I wrote "Watching Over Me" as a reminder that I am never alone. I hope these poems bring something special to your day. They are meant to soothe and encourage. ~

A St. Patrick's Day Treat from Ireland
~~ Irish Coffee Pudding ~ Posted by Beatrice
6 eggs, separated Beat egg yolks with the sugar until thick. Remove from heat, and when the bowl has cooled a little, place it over cracked ice and continue stirring. Pour into a soufflé dish that has a double thickness of parchment paper tied around it: the paper should come up 3 inches above the top of the soufflé dish. Remove the paper collar by easing around the circumference with a knife dipped in hot water. Serves 4

~~ Cheesy Crockpot Chicken ~ Posted by Debbie Yauch
Almost too easy, the chicken cooks in a creamy, cheesy sauce that is delicious over noodles. This freezes well, too.
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts Place chicken breasts in the crockpot. Mix the undiluted soups together with the garlic powder and pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours, until chicken is tender.
Serve with the delicious sauce over rice or noodles.
Yield: 8 servings

Note from Karen ~ I know it's been a while since we last had a visit. I'm sure we are all concerned about world events and the possibility of a war. Lasting Light is only meant to be a place of comfort and inspiration. I do think we all need to be a little kinder and a bit more tolerant with each other. I encourage you to make a difference in your own world by reaching out with a caring gift or perhaps a letter or phone call to someone you know needs your support. Many have family and friends serving in the military. They do need our support and prayers. ~ Where I live the sun is shining today. Spring is on the way. Let's take heart and allow ourselves time each day to appreciate all the beauty around us. Thank you for sharing this journey with me. I appreciate your kind letters and please take a moment to sign my guestbook and let me know you dropped by. Shine on...........Karen

Irish Blessings ~ Posted by Beatrice
Here's a special Irish wish, You can hear it in Cork or Kerry, God bless yourself, God bless your house, and may your days be merry.
Warm be the love that surrounds you; Always remember to forget the troubles that passed away. May the good Lord take a liking to you, but not too soon.
May you get the reward in heaven that's been denied you for your goodness on earth.
May we have the grace of God and may we die in Ireland

Quotes ~
If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
George MacDonald
Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."
