What's Up Guys,
It has been an incredible week around here at Kairos Kafe. We are so excited with the momentum that’s happening and so thankful for each of you who support us and tell your friends about us! That is really what causes us to grow. Thanks so much for all your encouragement and positive words to all your friends and family! We have a deep appreciation for each one of you.
The Specials this week are very encouraging. I love this time of year when we can really rock and roll in the kitchen. The Christmas Menu is at the bottom of the newsletter, along with a special offer for gift Certificates (Buy three, get one free) They make great gifts, especially since the Gardendale store will be opening January the 2nd! The Special this week is the grilled chicken tenderloins with sweet chili sauce. We are getting rave reviews about these bad boys! The fish is grilled salmon with a Honeymustard Glaze, full of delicious goodness that is also very good for you! I have concocted an awesome recipe for Red Bean Soup that has succulent pieces of ham along with some onions and celery and a few other things. This one is great when the weather is cold. It is the Soup along with our ever pleasing Cream of Potato. I tell you one thing you should try if you haven’t yet: The Pimento Cheeseburger. It is a great alternative to getting over the traditional holiday food, and it is the best burger I have ever put in my mouth! The Kwick Hitter menu has some delicious goodness going on as well, the BBQ Chicken Baked Ziti, which is sure to hit the spot along with Granny’s Poppyseed Chicken Kasserole, and Momma’s Cheesy Chicken Baked Ziti. With all this delicious goodness going on its gonna be hard for me to not see you in Kairos this week!
This past few weeks have been some of the most awesome weeks of my life, and I am finally coming to understand a word that I have heard a lot in Church Circles, and read, and even looked up the definition to and thought that I understood it, but in the last few weeks it has become very real to me. That word is Redemption. I have known for some time the forgiveness of sins, and being freed from things that once had me locked up, and I have experienced a relationship with Jesus and others, but these last few months it seems as if everything that was once wrong in my life is suddenly being made right.
Twenty eight years ago there was a divorce in my family. That was pretty rough on all of us, but we managed. The toughest part was that I stayed with my Mom and my baby Brother stayed with his Dad. Twenty nine years ago I told my little brother goodbye after a weekend visit expecting to see him the following weekend only to never see him again except for one brief encounter over twenty years ago. There was a lot that happened that I couldn’t even process at ten years old that led to a lot of my actions later on. All I knew was that it hurt like hell, and more than anything I wanted my little brother, and I knew he wanted me. Over the years I have never forgot about him and always wondered where he was, what he was doing, and missing him. For me, this turned into an impossible situation that would never be made right. But over the past ten years I have always known that Jesus could make it right, but it was hard to think about when.
Over the last few months I know that He has been teaching me how to give up control and trust Him with everything. Its been rough for me, trying to learn to let go, but I decided I was gonna learn it. The results have been incredible. A life of praise and thankfulness becomes a life filled with miracles. I want to do this instead of always trying to be in control and things have been awesome, but I was really not prepared for what happened this week because I was reunited with my little Brother! And it was and is so awesome that I keep shaking my head in amazement. And I know that the only person who could make that happen is Jesus!
Keep Hope Alive. The morning after I met with him I woke up feeling like I'd had a sword removed from my gut that had been there for 29 years. It's weird how something can be there and you know it hurts like hell but it's gone numb and you really don't realize how bad it hurt till its gone. Relief. Thank you Jesus for bringing me and my little brother back together and for taking care of impossible situations.
I am forever changed.
But that ‘s not all. There are several things going on right now that I’ll tell you about later that are happening so fast that it made me say the other morning “God, all my dreams are coming true! What am I gonna do now?”
He is redeeming my life, and restoring everything that was taken away from me, and I am so flooded with gratitude and thankfulness right now that it is overwhelming, but in a good way. I want to encourage all of you to keep hope alive, keep on following Jesus, keep on trusting Him to handle his business in impossible situations because He is Faithful.
God Bless You Guys! Thank You for supporting Kairos Kafe, and have a wonderful week!
