As we enter into holy week, I’m reminded of the following excerpt from Mother Teresa’s Meditations from A Simple Path:
“Everything is God’s to give and to take away, so share what you’ve been given, and that includes yourself.”
I truly believe our real work on this earth is to share our souls via love, compassion and true authenticity. We are challenged by some to view things just a little differently. The struggle is to accept, with a loving heart, the differences we see in our neighbor without letting go of our own beliefs. Walking together with unique points of view and bringing our own light to the collective table is the true beauty in this life.
If you’re struggling with a menu for Easter weekend, I thought you might enjoy my Gluten Free Easter Crumb Cake as a nice addition for breakfast or brunch. It boasts a gluten-free and vegan base with juicy blueberries and a lovely sweet crumble on top.
My prayer goes out to all families this Easter that you will be comforted by the love that surrounds you. I thank you for allowing me to share my family and musings with all of you.
Happy Easter!
