5 c. of joy

1/3 c. of giving

1/2 c. of self-control

1 c. of gentleness

3 c. of faithfulness

11 c. of obedient children

In an electric mixer, (ouch:) mix love, patience and laughter. (Reserve 2 cups of love for later.) After the love, patience and laughter are mixed well, gradually add joy. Now take your mixing bowl off the electric base, and fold in giving, self control and gentleness. Now if this does not turn out this far, add some faithfulness! That should get it back on track and for the last ingredient, add your eleven cups of obedient children!
