There is a glory and beauty of the sun, another glory of the moon, and yet another glory of the stars, and one star differs from another in glory and brilliance. (1 Corinthians 15:41)

God created us all uniquely different. Like the sun, the moon, and the stars, God made us to be different, and He has done it on purpose. Each of us has an individual destiny, and we are all part of God’s overall plan.

Be secure in your uniqueness, knowing that God loves you and took great care in creating you. We never have to be threatened by the abilities of others. We can be free to love and accept ourselves and one another without feeling pressure to compare or compete.

If we attempt to be just like someone else, not only do we lose ourselves, but we question God’s plan. God wants you to joyfully run your race; He doesn’t want you feeling pressured to run someone else’s race or fit into everyone else’s plans. Different is more than okay; it is God’s purpose for your life.

You were fearfully and wonderfully made by the Creator of the universe. Never question your worth. You are special and unique in his sight.

1-tablespoon olive oil

1-cup finely chopped onion

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

1-pound lean ground beef

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

2 cups tomato sauce

1 tablespoon sugar

1 pound cooked fettucine (or your choice of pasta)

Shredded or grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Fresh basil or parsley (optional)

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Heat the oil in a large saucepan or stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain excess fat, if necessary.

Add the Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 black pepper and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, until the dried herbs are fragrant.

Add the tomato sauce and sugar and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and partially cover. Simmer for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours, stirring occasionally.

When ready to serve, adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the pasta or other starch to individual plates and top with the Bolognese sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of cheese, fresh herbs, and crushed red pepper flakes.

“Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.”
