The baby bird
It is probably about a 5-6 foot drop. I decided to try a shovel to gather the bird up. She squawked (did I mention that her mama was having a lot to say about it too?) I tried several time to lift her up with the shovel and I would get her almost to the top and she would panic, scoot out and
I thought about how often I am like that baby bird. I get myself into a pickle with what seems like no way out. God comes down to try and get me out the mess and I panic as He tries to help me out. He keeps trying and then thinks, "Hmmm, I will have to try another way with this one." So, He gets His snow shovel out and tries again. This time, it isn't as easy for me to squirm and I begin to think that maybe I am being "helped out of my predicament." And, when I am scared after the incident, God, in His great mercy, gives me a drink of water as I rest. That is enough for me to get on my way.
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows." [Matthew 10:29-31]
I hope you feel cared for today!

A legacy
Several weeks ago I shared with you about my daughter-in-law's father being so ill. I wanted to update you and to let you know that he did pass away this past week. My heart aches for them and I am touched by your response to what occurred. If you think of them, I would love it if you would bring their name to God. I thought I would share what I learned of Becca's father. He was known for his generous and kind spirit to others. Many times people would talk to him about things going on in their life and his gentle response to them was, "Trust God more." As a result, his wife and children decided to have wristbands made that say just that - trust God more. When people have stopped them in the store, they share this story and others are encouraged by this and often ask if they could have one of the bracelets. As a result, they continue to have the bracelets made and to spread his legacy of trusting God more. I don't know about you, but that would take great courage to share that when my heart would feel so raw. I would like to help them spread the message, so today I leave you with this closing thought. . .Trust God More.
Thank you for always making my day. I love to hear your thoughts and feel your kindness!

Chocolate chip cookies
Need I say more?
By the way, I found the most amazing/delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. Here it is! They were right when they say that cornstarch makes a difference. I'm not kidding! Try it and let me know.
I hope you have a chocolate chip cookie day!
I found these at kelseysappleaday.blogspot.com
Ingredients:
3/4 c. unsalted butter, softened
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. bittersweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350
degrees F.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a
paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars until fluffy and light in
color. Add egg and vanilla and blend in.
3. Mix in flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.
Stir in chocolate chunks.
4. Using a standard-sized cookie scoop or
tablespoon, drop dough onto a prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes,
until barely golden brown around the edges. (The tops will not brown, but do
NOT cook longer than ten minutes.)
5. Let cool, on the sheet, on a wire rack for five
minutes. Remove from baking sheet and let cool completely. Makes approximately
3 dozen. Try not to eat them all.

Can you say yum?
Here's another delicious recipe and it's PINK!
Peppermint Sugar Cookie Bars
I found it at ladolcivita.blogspot.com
Makes 32 bars
Cookies:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup crushed or chopped after-dinner butter mints
Frosting:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
Pinch of salt
4 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 to 4 tablespoons milk
Food coloring, if desired
½ cup crushed peppermints or candy canes
1. Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a large 11X17-inch rimmed baking sheet. Line with parchment paper and grease paper as well; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add in vanilla. Add in flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in butter mints.
4. Spread batter evenly onto prepared baking sheet, smoothing top. Bake until light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
5. While cookie is cooling, make frosting; in the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add peppermint extract and salt. Add confectioners’ sugar, a little at a time, beating until well combined. Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, until frosting is smooth and fluffy. Add a few drops of food coloring if desired.
6. Spread frosting over cooled cookie, sprinkle with crushed peppermints, then cut into bars.
Happy Pink Saturday! Be sure to stop by Beverly's and see all of the other delicious posts!
Did someone say organized?
I like this because it is so
if I get it out, I think "oh, I'll do it later." That would explain the
if you open it - that one makes me nuts...I think that is a kid thing.
if you try it on - oops, that's me again!
if you don't use it - get rid of it....can we just skip over this one?
if it's expired - finally one I can say that I do....otherwise it makes for a stinky fridge.
if it's junk - throw it out....again, can we just skip over this one?
if it's a bill - pay it...yeah, that's a good idea! Thank goodness for my husband on this one! (Again, not my gift!)
if you schedule it, write it down...I used to be able to keep things in my head, but like the rest of my house, it's getting a little cluttered!
Are you one of those organized persons? If you are, please come to my house!

Be your own
I recently met a teacher that had this on her wall in her classroom and I just loved it! And, you know what? She was beautiful! She radiated love! Like her, we are each so special and unique which is how we add beauty to the world. So tell me, what is your own kind of beautiful?

Everything is art
I found it hereI love this quote! I think there is so much truth in it! My daughter will often tell me that she is not creative like her mama. I tell her that she is, but in a different way - her feet can dance - ohhh can they dance! I love seeing creativity in everyday life. We are surrounded by it! What is one of the ways you are creative?

This quote made me think of the book "For Women Who Do To Much"...I would be one of those. I like being busy! I like to use every possible moment to do something which leads to
I hope you have a relaxing day wherever you are!

Isn't this so true?! I can remember years ago when I was experiencing my own heartache and wondering if life would ever be okay. Then I knew of someone that was going through cancer treatments and needed someone to drive them back and forth and I thought that it would be a good thing to do so that I could take my mind off of my own pain. Little did I know how huge that was - she thought I was blessing her when in reality, she was blessing me - it was the beginning of knowing that things would be okay. How about you? What have you done or has someone done to help you out?
Blessings,
