Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water…. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably, earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing.

INGREDIENTS

1/2	c	Butter or margarine; softened
1/2	c	Sugar
1/2	c	All-purpose flour
2		Egg whites
1	ts	Vanilla
3	oz	Bittersweet chocolate OR
1/2	c	Semisweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400'F. Generously grease 4 cookie sheets. Beat butter
and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Blend in flour. In
clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Blend into butter
mixture with vanilla.
Using measuring teaspoon, place 4 mounds of dough, 4" apart, on each
prepared cookie sheet. Spread mounds with back of spoon dipped in
water to 3" diameter. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, 5-6 minutes or until
edges are just barely golden. (Do not overbake or cookies become
crisp too quickly and are difficult to shape.) Remove from oven and
quickly loosen each cookie from cookie sheet with thin spatula. Shape
each into a cone; cones become firm as they cool. (If cookies become
too firm to shape, return to oven for a few seconds to soften.)
Melt chocolate in small bowl over hot, not boiling, water. Stir until
smooth. When all cookies are baked and cooled, dip flared ends into
melted chocolate. Let stand until chocolate is set. If desired, serve
cones by standing them in a bowl. (Adding about 1" of sugar to bottom
of bowl may be necessary to hold them upright.)
Makes 16 cookies

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”

Bread magnifies Christ in two ways: by being eaten with gratitude for His goodness, and by being forfeited out of hunger for God Himself. When we eat, we taste the emblem of our heavenly food – the Bread of Life. And when we fast we say, “I love the Reality above the emblem.” In the heart of the saint both eating and fasting are worship. Both magnify Christ. Both send the heart – grateful and yearning – to the Giver. Each has its appointed place and each has its danger. The danger of eating is that we fall in love with the gift; the danger of fasting is that we belittle the gift and glory in our will-power.

John Piper
