{be}

"Be of good courage, 

and he shall strengthen your heart, 

all ye that hope in the Lord."

~Psalm 31:24~

 

You are good.  

But it is not enough just to be good.  

You must be good for something.  

You must contribute good to the world.

~Gordon B. Hinckley~

 

Be faithful in small things 

because it is in them that your strength lies.  
~Mother Teresa~

This morning I helped serve breakfast

to women in our area

who spend a whole lot of their time

serving those around them.

It's a simple way to say thanks.

And to let them know how much their service is appreciated.

Every time we get together,

I am inspired by them.

By all that they are.

I love the word
{be}

and all that it can represent.

A reminder of who I am trying to become.

And the qualities I hope to one day have.

{be}

...prayerful

...hopeful

...good

...grateful

...still
 ...patient

and, oh, so many more ;)

today, what are you trying to 
{be}

And, oh, by the way,

if you are looking for a yummy Sunday morning breakfast,

here's a new recipe for you to try.

We served it today.

And it was oh, so good!

Baked French Toast

1 loaf french bread, cut in 1" slices and cubed

8 eggs, beaten

2 c. milk

1 1/2 c. half & half

2 tsp. vanilla

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

3/4 c. butter or margarine

1 1/3 c. brown sugar

3 Tbs. light corn syrup

Grease a 9x13 pan.  Arrange bread in the pan.  In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, half & half, vanilla and cinnamon.  Pour over bread.  Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup.  Heat until boiling.  Pour over bread and egg mixture.  Bake, uncovered for 40 minutes.  Enjoy!
