I am so blessed with friends who truly care about Mike and me. The Bible tells us how important Christian fellowship is and to spend time with other believers. Mike and I have a community group and the members of this group had their kickoff potluck today. It was a BYOM (Bring Your Own meat) BBQ with side dishes brought by the members of our group.
Of course if you come from my family (the Reimer side), you know that my mother ALWAYS brought food for the family but also food for others as well. You knew when you attended a Reimer potluck, you'd find too much food. My mother told me, "Its better to have too much than not enough food." I suppose this reasoning can back-fire, but I try to be prepared for potlucks.
The recipie I'm going to share today takes advantage of the fresh fruit from the summer plus the wonderful seasoning I love to use which is cinnamon. The members of our potluch could smell the cinnamon the minute they dove into this dessert. Enjoy that precious fellowship that only God provides with your friends and fellow Christians.
