Streamlining That Sunday Morning Breakfast Hour

Sunday mornings are a very hurried time in our home.  
Putting the Sunday dinner in the crockpot.
Shower, dress, hair, make-up.
Style all four daughter's hair.  
Organize all needed materials for services and be out the door by 8:45am.  

Oh yeah...then there was breakfast.  I'm not gonna lie.  Many Sundays, my kids went to church hungry because I forgot to see if everyone poured themselves a bowl of cereal or maybe caught the granola bar I threw at them on the way out the door.

Here is a simple solution for those Sunday mornings.  During the week, make an Egg McMuffin for each member of the family, wrap in foil and freeze.  


On Sunday morning, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.  Pop in until heated through. 

Everyone gets a hot breakfast and no work or dirty pans/dishes were involved.  In fact, since we live much closer to the church now, I bring them with us.  When we get to church, they sit down in the fellowship hall and have their breakfast while I do my Sunday preparations with the coffee bar, nursery, etc.  When finished, simply throw the foil away.  And, since my husband leaves around 7am on Sundays, I can bring him his breakfast right to his office.

AND...
If you make breakfast for a Sunday School class or such, try baking the eggs for Egg McMuffin sandwiches in a cupcake/muffin tin.  It works beautifully!  And really cuts back the work.


I hope this tip may help you on your Sunday mornings!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."  Psalm 27

Ten Tips for Sunday School Teachers

Ideas for Sunday School Teachers: 1.  Write a note to each student and mail it to their home. 2.  Visit the child in his home and bring a small treat. 3.  Make a special treat once a month for your students on Sunday. 4.  Have a Sunday School class activity on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. 5.  Pray for your students. 6.  Have a monthly or quarterly contest for your students.  Include bringing their Bible, saying memory verses, attendance, etc.  Award small prizes. 7.  Have a special craft once a month. 8.  Rev up your teaching time!  Use props such as costumes, pictures, videos.  Make your lesson time come alive.  Teach your lesson 2-3 times during the week out loud – you will be amazed at how you will be able to teach it to your students – not just following the words in the book. 9.  After the lesson, be creative!  Students should not just be sitting and waiting for Sunday School hour to end.  You have 45 minutes each week to impact that little life.  Make e
