Church Cookies

It is my turn to make church cookies today! At our church we have a coffee and cookie time right after the service. People share their week and their life happenings over a cup of coffee/tea and cookies. So while I am sitting here at my kitchen table with my cup of tea waiting for my cookies to bake I find myself thinking about church cookies and what those words mean to me.
I guess it is not so much which cookie recipe is made, but the coming together of many lives - from the very young to the very old. These people have all become precious to me through the sharing of this tradition at our church.

  1. It seems like such a lovely time. The sharing of food with others is an important part of our lives & makes those good, warm memories of tiny minutes. I like that you pondered those times as you were making the cookies, a little bit of thoughtfulness baked right in.
