For all of us it should be unthinkable to keep to ourselves the knowledge that God's ultimate delight is to do the greatest good for others by letting them share in the supreme joy He has in Himself. How could any of us enjoy heaven unless we mobilized our time, talents and treasure to do our utmost to get the good news to the rest of the world? Sadly, many professing Christians do not feel this imperative demand because they, through unbelief, are themselves not experiencing God's great joy and peace.

Hope my Mother - in - law doesn't mind :-) This is my MIL's recipe for
Christmas sugar cookies - obviously you can use any shape you want :-) We
usually make these in large batches a month or so before Christmas and
freeze them until they are needed for whatever event we are attending that
requires us to bring cookies
:-) They thaw wonderfully!

Cream 2 cups sugar and 1 cup shortening together. Add 2 large eggs, 1 cup
buttermilk and 1/2 tsp. vanilla and beat well. In a separate bowl combine
remaining ingredients. Add to shortening mixture.
Roll out gently on floured surface. Use floured cookie cutters. Bake 400
degrees Farenheit for about 10 minutes or until done.
