Character is the one thing we make in this world and take with us into the next. The circumstances amid which you live determine your reputation; the truth you believe determines your character. Reputation is what you are supposed to be; Character is what you are. Reputation is what you have when you come to a new community; Character is what you have when you go away. Reputation is made in a moment; Character is built in a lifetime. Reputation grows like a mushroom; Character grows like an oak. Your reputation is learned in an hour; Your character is does not come to light for a year. A single newspaper report gives your reputation; a life of toil gives you your character. Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor; Character makes you happy or makes you miserable. Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone; Character is what angels say about you before the throne of God. Your character is what God knows you to be. Your reputation is what men think you are (William Davis).

FILLING
Prepare Pastry: Beat butter and cream cheese in a large bowl with an
electric mixer until creamy. Beat in sour cream. Stir in flour and salt
until firm dough forms. Add more flour if necessary. Divide dough in half.
Flatten each half into a 4" square. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate
overnight. When dough is ready, prepare filling: Combine nuts, sugar,
cinnamon, egg and orange rind in a small bowl. Roll out half of pastry on a
floured surface to a 9" square about 1/4" thick. Spread 3/4 cup of the
filling evenly over pastry. Roll up jelly-roll style. Wrap in foil.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
Preheat oven to moderate (350oF.) Lightly grease 2 large cookie sheets. Cut
rolls with a serrated knife into 1/4" thick slices. Place 1/2" apart on
cookie sheets. Reshape into rounds, if necessary. Bake in a preheated
moderate oven (350oF) for 15-20 minutes or until firm and golden brown.
Cool on cookie sheets 10 minutes. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool
completely.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
