PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

    

    Just tell me who doesn't like Peanut Butter Cookies.  It's my husband's favorite.  I confess they are close to the top of my list too!  After making these so easy cookies I believe they are running a first with Chocolate Chip.

    I enjoy learning new things from Facebook videos.  I came across this recipe the other night.  I was told that is was easy by "Mama Joyce" who post often her old fashion recipes. My interests stirred me since I am into easy.  So yes they were and very good.  So good that I must share it with you. You can whip up this "goodness" in no time and get lots of compliments. They will be great to share with friends or those that you want to show gratitude for their services to you. But remember you better share pretty soon or they will be gone before you can get them out the door to neighbors or such.

    Here is all you have to do.  It takes just three ingredients.

1 Egg

1 Cup Sugar

1 Cup Peanut Butter

    Mix Egg and Sugar well first then add Peanut Butter and mix well.  Spoon ( I used a teaspoon full) on baking pan sprayed with Pam or you can use parchment paper. Use a fork to make the PB marks or leave them if you wish.   Put in 350 degrees preheated oven.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes.  I found at first they were too sweet right out of the oven but people the next day you can not just eat one.  

    I hope you get lots of compliments from sharing this love with your loved ones.  !!!

    

 WHAT YA THINK IS GOING ON IN THIS YEAR, 2020?...

                                                                                   

I started New Year's day 2020, saying a cute little phrase, I thought. Thinking it would be fitting for this unique numbered year, I would say, "I'll see 2020 in 2020".  So, am I SEEING in 2020?  I think I am, but IT'S JUST NOT COMING INTO FOCUS. It is an out of control feeling I am having day by day, can't help but think it has to be good for me.  

Just read an excellent statement on FB by a young man, Dylan Franklin. He was expressing the same kind of things living in this time of the "What's "... 

...he said, "if you asked what God has been teaching me in 2020, the answer is simple. "Dylan, you don't write your story, I do." I thought I had this year figured out. But God started to chip away at parts of my plan until I reached a point a little before summer camp where I quite literally had nothing of my plan left. In my quiet time, I felt God calling me to focus solely on my relationship with Him, my ministry this summer, and to forsake all other things as distractions to these goals. I had no idea why, but God had a plan." I thought this wise young man's quote fit well with my thoughts as I was typing. 

As I sat here at my desk, I noticed one of my favorite verses on a plaque that I need to focus on because it is the Truth. 

I once heard this poem quoted by a preacher years ago, it goes like this.. 

"So on I go not knowing, I would not if I could. I had rather walk in the darkness with Jesus than alone in the light." 

I hope this speaks to you as it has me.  I'm glad God has a plan for this 2020 year.  We'll look back and say it was a year I learned so much.  It was a time of growth and re-focus on what life is really is about....I know some people had losses and some gained.  I saw a sign the other day that was such an encouragement and I end with it...

THE NEW NORM....

Our world was changed suddenly for America and the whole world one or two months into the new year of 2020.  I haven't even wanted to write about it because I didn't want to speak it or give it a face but in real-time it exists. You have all kinds of things going through your mind good and bad about it just like me, I know.  So how do you keep a healthy mindset?  Its a fight!!!

Yes, a fight! but it doesn't have to define you or bring you down.  It is stated as an enemy that is attacking. I agree but it sounds so negative and impossible to defeat.  That does not have to be received and go into our being and "getting us".  There are things we can do by becoming strong and an overcomer even when we feel we can't.  I hope this helps someone out there. Someone looking for answers in how to live each day not knowing what tomorrow will bring.

While surfing the internet the other day I found this on a day when I was grasping for just a word to bring me back into a place of Hope.  I found it!  This will help you as it did me. It is 5 simple ways for us to hold on to as this world turns in so many directions.  After watching it I felt a sense of coming up out of something trying to control me in a state of confusion that was leading me to fear and I was getting so discouraged until I say a BIG NO!!!   I was not going to allow it. That is not who I am.
