This past week we had two celebration of Life’s for some very special people from our class at church. One service was Wednesday for our most loved teacher, Charles Hebert! What a special person he was! After the second service on Friday, for a dear lady in our class, we sat and talked about what a shame it is that we always seem to find out so many things about people at their funeral services. It made us stop and think about all the things we didn’t know about them and why does that happen? Are we just so caught up in our own lives that we don’t notice others like we should? It made me think about that driving home and I want to try harder to be more invested in others. To truly stop and share more of my self and also ask questions to the people who might just need a listening ear or need to know someone is interested in them!
May that be one of my new years goals; to be a better friend! And speaking of friends, there is a lady who I have known since 2006 who used to live down the street from us. We are in the same class at church and she and I have a Love/hate relationship! We kid each other like we don’t even like each other but in reality, I love her like a sister! She is fun to kid and gives it right back to me! Jerry is a lady with a servants heart. She serves sometimes from the background and is not interested in being recognized. We have a team of ladies who serve the families who are gathered to mourn the passing of a family member! Jerry has offered to help us, so this week she had the opportunity to do so. She brought this amazing pecan cake to serve to the family on Wednesday! It was so good, we all ask her for the recipe! she was very gracious to share it. I made it Friday night and everyone I shared it with, loved it!!! So here is the recipe and I know I’ll be making many more of these. Thank you Jerry McGraw!!! It is a winner!
Also I substituted the chopped pecans for the Praline pecans from Costco . Loved the flavor!
