"The Lord is my portion," says my soul,
therefore I have hope in Him."
Lamentations 3:24
The word portion in this verse has a double meaning - smoothness, flattery, allotment, inheritance. He is all we need so He becomes the source of our hope during those difficult times and proper perspective in the good times.
Take some time and think about what it means to you that He is your portion: (Webster's Dictionary)
smoothness - freeing from what is harsh or disagreeable (in us): polishing, minimizing in order to allay anger or ill will, to free from obstruction or difficulty, to free from irregularities
flattery - soothe, bequile, to raise the hope of, to display to advantage
allotment - to give as a share, portion, role, or lot
inheritance - the acquisition of a possession, condition or trait
Mexican Stuffed Bell Peppers
These stuffed peppers are so yummy! Here are the ingredients:
4 bell peppers - red, yellow or orange (green peppers are too bitter)
1 lb grassfed hamburger
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
clove of garlic, minced
salt and pepper
1 tsp cumin
can of Rotel
1 cup brown Minute rice
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Wash peppers and cut off the tops, taking out the seeds. Place peppers upside down in a steamer and steam until softened - about 10 minutes. Note: I made a half recipe which is why you will see two peppers in the pictures.
Brown the hamburger with the onion, garlic, salt and pepper.
Add the cumin, Rotel and rice to the browned hamburger.
Add the cottage cheese and the cheddar cheese and stir well to combine.
Place steamed bell peppers upright in a sprayed casserole dish and stuff with meat mixture. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
If you forget to add the rice - um...yeah, I did - just serve the stuffed peppers on a bed of rice. It works!
