This time Nathaniel and Benjamin liked it but not Abigail and Timothy. Once again, bribery with candy worked for Abigail but not Timothy. He was content to go to bed hungry. It's made for really interesting conversations at the dinner table. Suzanne, Luke is not picky. I am lucky he'll eat just about anything.Soaring Highhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292362387467787646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830439756002906980.post-4168976667122203692010-03-04T07:36:49.810-08:002010-03-04T07:36:49.810-08:00My kids like the black beans with just a little sa...My kids like the black beans with just a little salt. And we have rice pudding a lot for breakfast and dessert. Good luck. If I did this for a month, Allen would either be eating out of I'd be cooking 2 meals. He will do beans and rice but there has be to promise of meat in the near future. :) Of course our meat is deer.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263610680908950334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830439756002906980.post-58988413809941217322010-03-03T18:04:02.174-08:002010-03-03T18:04:02.174-08:00Wow-- that's great, and very inspiring.

It's one thing to show a picture and then move on with the day...it's quite another to <i>live</i> a piece of someone's life. A lesson not easily forgotten.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399663278970048427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830439756002906980.post-88252793950526620982010-03-02T16:41:26.808-08:002010-03-02T16:41:26.808-08:00Day 2 brought more complaints. Dear Precious Jewel...Day 2 brought more complaints. Dear Precious Jewel asked if God could make everyone else in the world rich like us so that we could stop having to know what it was like for them. I told her that God doesnt' work that way. He gives us opportunities to share in each other's suffering. Eating rice and beans for supper for a month isnt true suffering. But on her little scale, it's apperently intense suffering. I promised they could each make a sandwich if they ate what what in their bowl.Soaring Highhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292362387467787646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830439756002906980.post-63325073764213558682010-03-02T16:37:12.810-08:002010-03-02T16:37:12.810-08:00yes, you can repost it.
