Comfort ~ Psalm 23

Psalm 23  has always been one of the few scriptures I can recite from memory.  In high school as a senior, I had it embroidered on my senior sweater.  It is a scripture that evokes a sense of comfort and peace whenever I read or hear it.  Comfort is also an element I try to include in my food.  We often use food as an emotional item; when we are happy, we eat; sad, we eat; need comfort, we eat.  One of my favorite comfort foods to make are soups.  A soup that I have made here at Wesley that is always well received is my Creamy Sweet Potato Soup.  I’ve included the recipe below; I hope you experience the same comfort I do as you try it!
