MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS, SWEET FRIENDS..

Good Evening, my dears..

How are you all?

Hope you are having a blessed Lord's Day..

We have had a great one..

Lovely church this morning joined by our youngest son and family..

Passed out Christmas cards and such and then came home and

made a very simple lunch for some wee boys..

After they left I decided as there was no church tonight due to the Christmas Eve service that perhaps I should do some little chore..

So I made these...

White Sugar Cookies..

I received this recipe back in the seventies from a good friend...

1970s that is.. grin..

I think you can read it from there..

If you have any questions just email me..

They are very simple to make and does not take long..

I always sprinkle some vanilla sugar on top..

A bottle of sugar with a vanilla bean stuck down the middle..

Used an antique reindeer cutter..

I like really to keep these plain and quite thick..

Nice and moist with the crunch of the sugar on top along with a cup of tea is so nice..

Sometimes I will ice these and do the Christmas thing but mostly they are good enough just like this..

Hope all is well with thee..

Just in case I don't get back to the computer until after the big day I would like to thank you dear ladies for your faithfulness in reading and commenting..

I so enjoy my blog..

I was in a thrift store the other day and bought the above plate for under a dollar..

The clerks who were a couple of young ladies said it was pretty..

I mentioned that I had a blog and that this was a prop..

Like for a play I told them..

They laughed and said that would be fun...

And it is...

I don't usually buy many props but this caught my eye..

You guys make it all a joy with your sweet comments and emails..

I feel like I know so many of you personally and if I needed to then I could knock on the door in the middle of the night and you would give me a cuppa tea.. grin..

So glad the Lord has brought you all into my life..

I pray that God will be with you all during the season..

That he will bless you with protection and love and joy..

Joy that only Jesus can bring..

He is the greatest thing in my life..

I am so glad he came to earth so many years ago and made salvation available for us today..

A way so simple..

Just believe that His Word is true and accept Him into your heart and put Him first in your life..

I count it as blessing and privilege to know him on a daily basis..

He is someone I have depended on for many years and he has always proved faithful..

He is so precious...

We will keep the dear families from Connecticut in our hearts and prayers this coming week..
