My Mom Used To Make Traditional Corned Beef & Cabbage For St. Patrick's Day. Would You Like To Know My Version I Would Make?

I find this interesting that I am writing about this tonight at the close of another St. Patrick's Day. When my mom would make the corned beef & cabbage she made it this way. Yes, she boiled the cabbage and carrots and I think she would make mashed potatoes too. I did learn this from her. After boiling the corned beef and you trim off the fat then you make a mixture of yellow mustard with brown sugar and then place it on top of the corned beef and then place in the oven for the glaze coating to get a little bit of browning. I have to know my guests to see if they would like that or not to serve it to them in that fashion.
When I made the corned beef for my children I would then slice the meat and not do the boiled cabbage and carrots but I did make homemade potato salad. We enjoyed Reuben sandwiches so that is what I made as our dinner.
Let me share with you about what we did after serving the people of Nashville two weeks ago ok. I knew one thing and that was to take 2 $2.00 bills along with me.  We found the lady we ministered to the day before. We found her and blessed her again. The woman I was with from church we gave all we had dollar wise to her and this woman was most grateful. I think I did share this with you when it happened. This is what was a little unsettling to my heart when I was in Nashville the day before praying for people on the street. Nashville was really busy with people drinking and partying like nothing was wrong. How could there be so much drinking and things of that sort and just a few miles down the road in the area there was destruction from the tornado. Peoples lives were changed completely by the tornado and you still found the street packed with people partying and drinking like nothing ever happened to the community around them. There is something not quite balanced in that picture do you agree.
So, I find it ironic now that those very bars/establishments that were booming then are now shut down due to the coronavirus now. I feel for the people that are temporarily out of work at this time but maybe God is speaking through this to clean up the streets and let the gospel message spring forth now. Just a fleeting thought I had right in this very moment. God did not bring on the virus but He sure can use this to change the hearts of the people what do you think?
