One of the biggest hits this Thanksgiving season at our clan reunion in Missouri was Breakfast on the Bus hosted by my brother Fain's family the morning after Thanksgiving.
Fain purchased this old bus that was originally used, I think, for senior citizens, and has been little by little remodeling it into a mobile cafe which he hopes to use in outreach, such as inner city ministry to homeless, or possibly in disaster relief.
Candace (on the right) stayed busy frying eggs and pancakes, while behind her bacon stayed warm in the microwave oven. Gabriel's wife Elizabeth is getting ready to cut cinnamon rolls to serve.
Natasha is working on another pan of cinnamon rolls.
As soon as the first wave of "customers" came through, more were flooding in, so people like me hustled right along and went inside Fain's home to help with the stacks and stacks of dishes!
Meanwhile, up front, Ezra, the computer geek, is working on the bus's computer system so that it will say words on the front, on this particular morning, welcoming each couple who arrived.
So here are our names! John and Anna, even if John is not the correct spelling.
Erika is ready to serve cinnamon rolls with a smile!
My favorite photo of the day--a table full of boys bowing to thank God for their food
during Breakfast on the Bus!
May God bless this unusual bus ministry that Fain wants to begin, and allow it to be used effectively in the kingdom of God.
