My apple tree was producing so, checking my file of recipes I found a perfect quick bread that called for pumpkin, but could be varied with apples or zucchini.
As the church grew, baking this bread became a ministry for me! New members were being added and the Pastor asked my husband to teach a morning class. We were happy to serve!
About that time, I had applied for a job with the County and was hired.
Since I was already in the habit of baking nut bread each week, I began to bring various nut breads to work with me each Monday.
Each Monday, the bread was expected and enjoyed. The staff even dubbed the bread, “Hazel Bread.” Not only was this an act of love, but it also was a ministry. Many times throughout the duration of my employment, I was also able to share about The Bread that is from Heaven. What joy!
There is nothing too small for God to use. Whatever your hand finds to do – do it!
The Bible tells us that Jesus is the bread that will truly satisfy our Spiritual Hunger.
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. - - - I am that bread of life.
PUMPKIN NUT BREAD (Makes 2 loaves)
