Christmas Cookies – Yum!

It’s the Christmas season!

There was a cookie walk at church where each person who bought a tin could walk around a room filled with home-made cookies and fill the tin.

The stores are all selling those delicious ginger/molasses cookies that cannot be turned down (at least by me).

Gifts are coming in with moist, rich chocolate chip cookies.

Your boss took you out to eat … next door to the cookie store which has irresistable and luscious cookies (and some cookies made it into your car).

There are treats at work … including cookies.

I could eat cookies for all three meals and be perfectly content … except for the belly ache.

I think I’ll throw in some fruit, veggies, dairy, and protein to balance it out as side-dishes throughout the day.

The Pumpkin Man!

It’s that time of year! Delightful smells, gorgeous colors, and festivities everywhere.

Kalamazoo has a treasure this time of year in all of the farms with fun activities, treats to eat, and tours to tantalize. We are fortunate to have many apple farms, fruit stands, and corn mazes. Since my brother has an autumn fruit stand, I don’t much get around to the others. Yet, they are all of value no matter if they’re mostly for fun or muchly for games.

One pictured here is JUST for pumpkins! And it’s NO fruit “stand”. It’s an all out farm with ONE product for ONE month of the year. Honestly, I haven’t purchased much here, but I sure do enjoy getting great shots of pumpkins galore. I also appreciate that it’s a centennial farm, just as our family farm is over 100 years old as well.

If you’re in Kalamazoo, check out some of the great autumn fun, smells, tastes, and colors.

There is Light

The road is long, the journey both excruciating and exhilarating.

There are times that it seems there will not be any light to come, and there will be light.

There will be dirt roads, freshly paved roads, swervy curvy roads, and straight as an arrow roads.

There will be construction seasons, snowy seasons, rainy seasons, and icy seasons.

There will be wacky drivers, drivers with manners, drivers with distractions, and drivers who let you in when they shouldn’t.

Good or bad, God will see you through it. It may not feel like it at the time, but Angels are with you.

May you find peace in your heart, love in your life, and hope for tomorrow.
