PRAYER Decorated Cookie Collection (Rustic Floral Garden)

View fullsize

Prayer….It’s so essential in our lives. It’s our connection to God.

We are currently within the isolation period of the Covid-19 pandemic.
I’ve noticed that when crisis hits, we all pray more.
It’s a time when we realize how little control we really have over our own lives.

My prayer is that we draw closer to God and one another and learn lots of wonderful things during this time of trial. God has certainly taught me how He gets my attention during difficult times and teaches me so much…..if I’m willing.

Floral PEACE Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

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.

💗💗💗

Grow in Knowledge (Back to School) Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

This Back-To-School season is going to be pretty special after schools closed and went to virtual learning in March 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Here’s my version of back to school cookies after having weeks to really think about what is most important. It’s not about the facts and principles as much as it is about growing in wisdom & knowledge.

May this year be the best year of growth for all of us!

Take A Hike Decorated Cookie Collection

We’ve been in the middle of the Covid-19 “stay at home” restrictions as I created these cookies. Can you tell that I had my mind on OUTSIDE as we were directed to stay inside? :)

In celebration of nature and enjoying fresh air and God’s creations….. I present this “Take A Hike” cookie collection. It helped me to cope with the cabin fever I’ve been feeling these last several weeks.
