It has been such fun to bake some cakes for friends who ordered either a chocolate or pumpkin Bundt cake these last two weeks. Not only has it given me the fun of baking for others but it has also been such a blessing to see some friends I had not seen in quite a while when they came to pick the cake up!
The holidays can get so hectic and in the process of doing all the things on our “to do” list, we sometimes miss out on what truly gives us pleasure. Of course that is different for everyone! But one of my greatest joys is baking for people and visiting with others. I can’t wait to get to Heaven and have millions of folks from every background and language to get to know and talk to! Can’t you just imagine walking down the streets of gold and meet someone who you might not know but as soon as you make eye contact you begin to visit and you possibly hear their story of how they came to Jesus, or how they might have been praying for me or you or a relative for years! Every story will be fascinating! We might be gathered around a table listening and sharing our stories while eating a chocolate cake! Of course Heaven will have chocolate cake or it wouldn’t be Heaven!! But until that day I pray I will have the strength and ability to bake for others. It just adds to the blessing of the greatest reason to celebrate Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years….Jesus Christ! After all, that is what our lives, as Christian’s should be about! No matter the holiday, no matter the day! To glorify His Name!
Both recipes for the cakes will be on Chocolatecastles.com today. (After I get thru baking I’ll post them)
