--LOVE ONE ANOTHER ~~

--"This is my commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you."
---[John 15:12] --

~~~The Priority Mail two-day delivery box arrived on our front porch as a real surprise. With expectancy, we opened the Butter Maid Bakery container.

Inside was a "Handmade with Love" genuine Kolachi roll. To see the word Kolachi was to recall savory kitchen aromas of my mom's dessert baking. Her yeast-dough Kolachi-with-prunes, still warm from the oven, topped with real butter, remains a culinary highlight of my youth.

Immediately upon opening the box, we sliced off pieces from the large log-shaped roll. After warming it for thirty seconds in the microwave. I placed a forkful in my mouth. AH!......the first bite was a taste of Mom's Minnesota Czech Kolachi recipe, appetizing and delicious.

My wife's sister and brother-in-law sent these lip-smacking treats. Few have supported us more in our thirty years of army life than Jan and Bill. Over the decades, their thoughtfulness, wise counsel, and encouragement have made a real difference.

Though unknown to them, the package arrived just before my Mom's birthday.

In my exuberance over the back-home kitchen flavor, I researched the web, found the vendor, and had Kolachi roll treats express-delivered to my two brothers and sister. The occasion honored the memory of our mother.

"The dough tastes like Mom's!" came a happy face, thumbs-up emoji text from my sister. "The Kolachi Roll you sent to us in Mom's memory was out of the world! Thank you! She would have loved it!" was another written response. -

Sharing the love. Multiplying the joy. Isn't this what a life of faith is all about?
