This morning we got up early to make many biscuits for the teachers at Lenawee Christian School.
Since it has been a long hard winter with many classroom interruptions due to the weather, a committee of the LCS Board decided to serve breakfast to the teachers as an encouragement to them.
When making biscuits one of Gail's concerns is that they will rise perfectly and not be caught in a "squat". Squatty biscuits can be used as a hockey puck. Fortunately, all of the biscuits that were made this morning rose to the occasion due to lots of prayer. A significant ingredient in biscuits baking powder which acts like a leaven or yeast in bread.
Homemade biscuits fresh out of the oven.
The Jews believed that sin was much like leaven in that it can infect the entire person. That is why the Jewish people would only eat unleaven bread. We can look at leavening in two different ways.
It can be thought of as something negative such as sin. An example can be found in Proverbs 20:26 where it says, "Where no wood is, the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth." All of this is to say a little negative or a little positive can affect the whole. Which would you rather have in your biscuit; joy, love, kindness, and peace or gossip, friction, backbiting and hate? When you make your batch of biscuits be sure to use the right leavening so that people can be enriched by them.
Blessings and Encouragement,
Paul, Gail, Patsy, and Penny
