It is just "stuff"

Our Daily Bread
Over the past few years, God has been trying to teach me what is really important in life.  Along the way I developed this saying when people talk about giving up things or not buying all the things we can afford:  It is just "stuff".  I want more than just "stuff" in this life.

Like the devotional says, "stuff" or possessions are not bad as long as we don't let them come between us and God.  Remember the story of the rich young ruler that just walked away when Jesus asked him to give up all he had to follow Jesus?  Having "stuff" can also mean we have more resources to share with the poor and needy.  We can support our church.  Support charities that are important to us.  Let's pray for each other that we don't let stuff or trying to accumulate stuff come between us and God!

Lord, thank you so much for your blessings and for the strength to have "stuff" in this life.  Please help us always remember the source of our hope!

Foodie Friday
I have been seeing a lot of recipes for sweets lately.  I like this stuff, but can't have a lot of it.  I will focus more on healthier stuff starting next week.  This recipe looked really good for a weekend...  The recipe is from an acquaintance on Facebook.  I don't remember who.

CINNAMON CRESCENT ROLLS:
Ingredients:
2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
1 stick butter, softened
½ cup white or brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk

Instructions:
Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, combine butter, sugar and cinnamon; beat until smooth. Separate dough into triangles. Spread each triangle with about 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon
butter mixture. Roll up each crescent roll. Firmly press ends and seams to seal.

Place each cinnamon filled crescent roll onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 350°F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. In small bowl, blend all glaze ingredients, adding enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls.
