We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 pk Dry yeast; (2 1/2 oz)
1/2 lb Softened butter
3 ts Sugar
1/2 c Milk; scalded
1/2 c Southern Comfort
1/2 tb Salt
3 Extra large eggs
3 pt Flour
1 Lemon; grated rind only
2 ts Pure Vanilla extract
1 Plastic baby or red kidney bean
1/4 c Water
1 Egg
1/4 c Boiling water
1 tb Corn Syrup
2 1/2 c Powdered Sugar
1 1/2 c Sugar; divided into 3 parts
3/4 oz Southern Comfort
Food coloring: Green; gold, red & blue, (to make purple)

INSTRUCTIONS

Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 C. of warm (not hot) milk with 3 tsp. sugar in a
large mixing bowl. Let rest 5 mins. Add butter, 1/2 C. Southern Comfort,
eggs, flour, lemon rind, and vanilla and mix 10-12 minutes with electric
mixer on low speed until blended. This is a straight dough procedure. Allow
the dough to rest for 15 minutes. Refrigerate the dough for 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Return the dough to room temperature. Divide
the dough into 3 even pieces. Roll each section into strands of the same
length and do a 3-way braid, bringing the ends together to form an oval.
>From the underside, insert the doll or bean. Allow the dough to proof in a
warm place for 1 hour.
Mix together 1/4 C water and 1 egg and brush the mixture on the dough. Bake
on a greased pan 20-25 minutes. Cool on a rack.
To make icing, bring water and corn syrup to a boil, add the powdered
sugar. Stir until all sugar is dissolved. Brush this on top of the cooled
cake.
Divide 3/4 oz. of Southern Comfort into 3 equal parts. Add one of each of
the three food colors (green, gold, purple). Stir each into three separate
1/2 Cups of sugar. Stir until color is distributed well into the sugar.
Sprinkle this over the icing in alternating bands.
