On my One-a-Day cleaning & clearing trek I found an unopened bag of frozen cherries which never found their way into my Green Smoothies. I remembered a new recipe. And I love cherries.
After a sink full of dishes, three mistakes from not reading through the recipe first, and lacking a jumbo muffin pan I decided to make these Cherry Struesal Muffins into Cherry Struesal Mini-Cakes.
Halfway through testing out my Cherry Muffin Mini-Cake, the Food Police show up at my door knocking.
“You do know if you eat that whole mini-cake, it’s as if you ate two large muffins.”
“Er, yes, thank you for your polite intrusion.”
I polished off the Cherry Struesal Mini-Cake in one sitting.
And somewhere there is a quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”
And so I shall.
I also hear Jesus whisper, “I am the Bread of Life.” (John 6:35) The only place you will find true soul-satisfaction.
And so He is.
Come just as you are,
