day twenty-four: a gracious plenty

We have an unbelievable staff at our church (despite even my working there). Our ministers are gifted, caring people who are passionate about their work, and often put in many more hours than they are paid for, doing thankless and often unnoticed tasks.

So when a church member offers a simple act of kindness to say "Thanks," like making breakfast for a Tuesday staff meeting, we get really excited...

...and we eat...

...a LOT.

Today we had a gracious plenty.

Suzy made her mom's Overnight Cinnamon-Pecan Ring, which is usually enough to feed about twenty people. Today it fed five ministers, two assistants, a custodian, and two volunteers.

I prefer the butterscotch pudding. If you double it, make it in a deep aluminum roasting pan.

The finished product. It's like a gas-station pecan swirl on steroids (the size of a small tree...see top left of picture). Yummy.

Today we had a gracious plenty for a group of people who offer plenty of grace every day.
