Floral Thank You Decorated Cookie Collections

I’m headed to some important doctor appointments in the next couple of weeks. It seems appropriate to thank my doctors/staff for all the great medical care they have given to me.

Here is the first installment of thank you cookies for my healthcare providers. :)

What better way to love on them than to create and share some cookies of gratitude.

Autumn JOY Decorated Cookie Collection

Oh autumn……you are so beautiful!
I love this season.
It brings me such joy…..thus I’ve created a set of cookies to express that autumn joy.

As I sit here on this 90 degree summer day and anticipate this upcoming fall season, I wonder what things will be like in just a few months when the weather turns cooler and the leaves begin to change colors. I’ve always done my cookie sets ahead so that I could have content for my site lined up in advance. It’s kind of ironic now…..because in many ways, there’s no need to β€œhave content for my site lined up in advance”. I don’t do any of this to raise money anymore…..it is all purely out the love of creating. It’s what keeps me going everyday. It’s not really for anyone else, as much as it is for me. And right now…..it’s extremely helpful to think about something so lovely as AUTUMN. :)

May this cookie set bring someone else as much cheer as it did me as I created it.

Thank you God for bringing joy when there seems to be none. You have done great things!

Floral PEACE Decorated Cookie Collection

Peace……we all long for it.

Currently, our world is in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. It’s a scary time…..unlike anything we’ve ever faced before. Everyone is concerned about getting the virus or giving it to those who are immunocompromised. We watch the news in disbelief at how rapidly all of it has taken over our world, our finances, our daily routine. And to top it all off, we are cut off from each other because of social distancing. (I think one of things I miss the most is the hugs from loved ones.)

But in times like these, the truth is blatantly clear. Peace does not come from circumstances. We can have peace even in the middle of awful storms…..maybe the worst we’ve ever seen.

THIS is where I find my comfort. And decorating cookies to share that message has given me much joy these last few days.

Grateful (Shabby Chic) Decorated Cookie Collection

Lately, my cookies have become a reflection of my heart. There’s so much going on in my life emotionally…..so it’s pretty natural to share what is deep inside…even on cookies.

This week has been a rough one for me. I started comprehensive testing for my β€œannual review” of my cancer diagnosis and there was a crisis period where things could have taken a devastating turn. Praise God πŸ™ŒπŸ» that was not the case once the results came back, but there were some very fearful and anxious moments.

My heart is so full of gratitude! God has me in the palm of His hand and He is a good good Father.

Grateful [ greyt-fuhl ]
warmly or deeply appreciative of kindness or benefits received; thankful:

*******
I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
Psalm 9:1

Flower DELIGHT Decorated Cookie Collection

With a desire to dwell on truth and create cookies that reflect my heart, here is the flower DELIGHT collection. I LOVE flowers! So it made sense to create them when emphasizing delight. :)

This color combo always gets me……pinks, greens and yellows. Just thinking about all of them together makes me smile…..I guess that counts for being delighted x2.

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4
