This is a super sweet and easy cake. Jeremy and I enjoyed it several days. Reminds me of Psalms 119:103, “How sweet your words taste to me; they are sweeter than honey.” God’s WORD is so sweet and you just want more once you taste it.
Thankful today for the sweet church we shared with yesterday morning. They were small but full of God’s loving sweetness. We were truly blessed by them and their heart to support us in prayer. Their love offering will be multiplied for their kindness.
