PRICELESS BLESSING Next to this, these senior citizens listed trust in God as the greatest blessing, lack of religious faith as the handicap. Money cant buy that blessing, can it. Mr. G.? Quite the contrary, it is still one of the few valuable things that can be had free of charge. In third place was a cheerful state of mind, as opposed to the Inability to meet hardship and disappointment courageously. Money was not mentioned until fourth place.

Dessert - making and eating go on. But we do have to keep an eye on the calories to compensate for that Christmas splurge. Baked Orange Souffle is a delicate dessert for January. And because it's made with skim milk and liquid sweetener, its also light in calories. It's a good recipe for diabetics, and for their special benefit, not only calories are given at the end of the recipe, but also food exchanges are listed. If youve never made a souffle, now's a grand time to learn something new. The only real trick of it all is to have everyone ready to eat it as it comes from the oven. In this instance, the people must wait for the food, rather than the food for the people!
