He always has a welcoming smile and something kind to say. I chose to make a lasagna mostly because lasagna is just really good! But also because there is always leftovers and it always seems to taste just as good the next day too. I love to cook, for my family, friends, or whoever needs it. I think on these cold winter nights when the sun goes down at about 4:30, having an easy meal to heat up and enjoy just makes life a little easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>This Christman season in particular I\u2019ve noticed myself flying from commitment to commitment and forgetting what this is all about. Getting swept up in all the hustle and bustle is easy, and I found by doing this it helped me slow down and think about the love that needs to be spread during these trying times. This project not only helped a friend have an easier night with a warm meal, but it helped me remember that love is a priority I need to focus on when things get rough, and that God is a priority that will bring us all peace when our lives get a little crazy. I loved doing this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Alexa DiPersio<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/faith-andover.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Image-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Dec 21st\" class=\"wp-image-10538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faith-andover.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Image-2.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/faith-andover.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Image-2-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/faith-andover.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Image-2-18x24.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/faith-andover.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Image-3-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Dec 21st\" class=\"wp-image-10539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faith-andover.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Image-3-768x1023.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/faith-andover.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Image-3-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/faith-andover.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Image-3-1153x1536.jpeg 1153w, https:\/\/faith-andover.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Image-3-1537x2048.jpeg 1537w, https:\/\/faith-andover.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Image-3-18x24.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/faith-andover.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Image-3.jpeg 1816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dec 21st &#8220;25 Days of Living in the Light!&#8221; &#8220;Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,&#8221;Romans 5:1 For this project I made a meal for someone in our church community that we all know and love.
