I am so thankful that these men faithfully get together every week to pray - it is such a blessing and an encouragement to me to see them make prayer together a priority in their lives.
Wanting to show them how thankful I am - I try to make some sort of nice breakfast treat to eat with their tea & coffee...you know, bless them in return.
More often then not, Thursday sneaks up on me as it did last week and I end up scrambling to whip something up.
When mom was here in July we chatted -
there are men who come bright and early to their house to pray with Papi. We laughed together as she shared about the time she and Papi overslept while the guys waited patiently out in their cars - yes those mornings happen at our house too, waking with a start hearing a knock at the door!
We also talked about how we can encourage our guys to continue on in this worthy pursuit.
I'm thinking about this -one idea I have is to strive to get to bed at a decent hour on Thursday nights so it is not so hard to get up in the morning. And, I realize if I really want to continue bake something nice for them to eat in the morning I Cannot be remembering it is Thursday at 9 o'clock at night. The way it goes now, we never get to bed before 11.
To help me be diligent in this area of my life I am going to start sharing with you guys what I am planning on making for Friday morning.
And as I go along if you have any yummy recipes that are a hit in your house do let me know - I would love to give the recipe a go!

okay,I can't wait to hear what you're baking and what they like! last week we got up at 5 AM with the alarm; I made the coffee press, was wide awake-the guys didn't show up! I had to watch my grumbling heart; sigh. . .
(And I like how the pictures on your post fit so nicely with the text)
oooohhh...I'm looking forward to borrowing some of your recipes!
Late night baking commitment because I felt like I still had "all day"...I have had a few (ok many) of these in my life time. Well lately we have had bananas laying around, which before sweet babies we rarely had bananas, so I have been making this:

It is yummy but you might want to find out if everyone likes coconut. The best part is that is actually is better after 2 or 3 days.
yes, I absolutely love that lime coconut banana bread that Jamey mentioned (and I know Nathaniel loves coconut!)This week I tried the millet banana bread from joythebaker.com
we loved the millet crunch!
yes! he loves coconut - thanks Jamey, I will definitely put it on my list to do.
