An Encouraging Word
Encouraging Word Article
November 2021
Address change 

When we were born again, something great happened! We became a citizen with the Lord. This is now not our home. ( John15:19) We are ambassadors in a foreign land; as such we represent Jesus. (2 Corinthian 5:20-21) We are a living epistle written by God. (2 Corinthian 3:2-3) With this said we must understand that whatever circumstance we find ourselves, our job is to represent Jesus in "all" our ways. (Proverbs 3:6) The master plan is to have an ambassador for Christ in all situations. All situations mean all situations; be it pleasant or not! Remember we are soldiers in the army of the Lord and we don't get to pick our assignment.  Remember there is a reward both here and in our everlasting life for those who cooperate in God's plan!  
Start your day remembering who we are, where our home is, and what our assignment is and we will find dealing with the ups and downs of the day will be more tolerable. Remember our job is to show the world the love of God under all circumstances.
"They will know us by our love" (John 13:35

In the U.S., Memorial Day (last Monday in May) and Veterans Day (November 11th) are annual federal holidays used to commemorate the lives of soldiers and others who have served in the armed forces. Memorial Day commemorates those men and women who died serving in the United States Armed Forces, while Veterans Day honors everyone who has served in the United States Armed Forces, not only those who have passed.


These restaurants are honoring veterans with free food and discounts on Veterans Day

Don't Ruin A Good Day

"The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I come that they may have and enjoy life and have it in a abundance." John 10:10 AMP

Protein can help you shed those unwanted pounds -- and keep your belly full. But it's important to eat the right amount and the right kind of protein to get its health benefits.

Seafood
Seafood is an excellent source of protein because it's usually low in fat. Fish such as salmon is a little higher in fat, but it is the heart-healthy kind: it has omega-3 fatty acids.

White-Meat Poultry
Stick to the white meat of poultry for excellent, lean protein. Dark meat is a little higher in fat. The skin is loaded with saturated fat, so remove skin before eating.
 
Milk, Cheese, and Yogurt
Not only are dairy foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt excellent sources of protein, but they also contain valuable calcium, and many are fortified with vitamin D. Choose skim or low-fat dairy to keep bones and teeth strong and help prevent osteoporosis.

Eggs
Eggs are one of the least expensive forms of protein. The American Heart Association says normal healthy adults can safely enjoy an egg a day.

Beans
One-half cup of beans contains as much plant-based protein as an ounce of broiled steak. Plus, these nutritious nuggets are inexpensive and loaded with fiber to keep you feeling full for hours.

Pork Tenderloin
This versatile white meat is 31% leaner than it was 20 years ago.

Soy
Fifty grams of soy protein daily can help lower cholesterol by about 3%. Eating plant-based soy protein instead of sources of higher-fat protein -- and maintaining a healthy diet -- can be good for your heart.

Lean Beef
Lean beef has about two grams more saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast. Lean beef is also an excellent source of zinc, iron, and vitamin B12.

Protein on the Go
If you don't have time to sit down for a meal, grab a meal replacement drink, cereal bar, or energy bar. Check the label to be sure the product contains at least six grams of protein and is low in sugar and saturated fat.

Protein at Breakfast
Research shows that including a source of protein like an egg or Greek yogurt at breakfast along with a high-fiber grain like whole wheat toast can help you feel full longer and eat less throughout the day.



Avoid Processed meats
Hot dogs, bacon, sausage and other processed meats may be your guilty pleasure. But their price tag for your health is high.
“Hot dogs have very little nutrition for the amount of calories you’re consuming, and contain only a small amount of poor-quality protein,” says Emily Bostin MS, RDN, LD. They’re loaded with preservatives and contain mechanically separated meat, she notes.
Adds Julia Zumpano, RD, LD, “Hot dogs and other processed meats such as salami, pepperoni, and sausage generally contain less protein than a piece of fresh lean meat or fish.”
Their high saturated fat and sodium content raises cholesterol and blood pressure, and encourages weight gain.
Most worrisome of all, processed meats are considered carcinogenic. Many contain nitrates or nitrites, which studies link to several cancers. Regularly eating processed meats is correlated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer.

“Meats preserved by smoking, curing or salting, or addition of chemical preservatives, such as in ham, bacon, pastrami, sausages, hot dogs and cold cuts (deli meats) are all considered processed meat."
