My Lesson from Cornbread Dressing- Part 2

2. Begin combining dry ingredients.
There are some essential, non-negotiable, parts to good corn bread dressing: hand rubbed sage, white cornbread, and fresh vegetables. When preparing for Sunday's Lesson there are three non- negotiables to preparing to teach God's Word: Pure Mind, Teachable Spirit, Servant's Heart. There are other factors such as study tools, visual aids, or object lessons which help color the final presentation, but the preparer must himself be prepared. Each lesson that is presented to your class takes on the flavor of the preparer's life. You wouldn't think of using a dirty bowl or a filth- crusted spoon to prepare the dressing, but often that is what happens if we ignore the personal preparation. Before combining ingredients, make sure the very purest mind. spirit and heart are first presented to God. Your lesson, whether basic or detailed, will be more palatable to the learner.
