Heavenly Hamburger

Here is my favorite recipe from when I was first married, I have seen different versions of it on pinterest, and so I have adapted this as well, I no longer do it this old fashioned way, I now use spaghetti sauce, but here is my original, you will like it, and below it I will condense it down to easier version!

Heavenly Hamburger

1 clove garlic (or use minced garlic, garlic salt, or garlic powder)

For the nourishing of our souls:

Tonight in our scripture reading we came across St Matthew 14:27:

"Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid"

Jesus is telling us to be of good cheer and be not afraid.

There have been HUNDREDS of times when I kneel to pray that I hear the Holy Ghost telling me to be of good cheer.  Even during times when I am struggling and want to be mad at the world for the unfairness of it all.  Jesus tells us over and over throughout the scriptures as well to be of good cheer, He is with us, He knows our pains, He knows how to give us strength to bear our burdens, He walks with us along our path, so be not afraid, we are not alone, He is with us always!
