God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
A life once spent is irrevocable. It will remain to be contemplated through eternity… The same may be said of each day. When it is once past, it is gone forever. All the marks which we put upon it, it will exhibit forever… Each day will not only be a witness of our conduct, but will affect our everlasting destiny… How shall we then wish to see each day marked with usefulness! It is too late to mend the days that are past. The future is in our power. Let us, then, each morning, resolve to send the day into eternity in such a garb as we shall wish it to wear forever. And at night let us reflect that one more day is irrevocably gone, indelibly marked.
We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services, but few conversions; much machinery, but few results.
(*) To blanch almonds, dip almonds into boiling water for 1 minute. Remove
the brown skin covering. Dry in a 200°F oven for 30-45 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Use a food processor to chop them to the finest size
possible. (A 2-pound bag of almonds is what you'll need for this recipe).
Preheat oven to 300°F. Combine all of the ingredients thoroughly. Form into
desired shapes and sizes (we usually form them into crescents) and bake on
greased and floured cookie sheets. Bake for 20-30 minutes depending on
thickness of cookie. (In my oven, it takes about 24 minutes).
NOTES : This recipe is a double recipe. These are one of my favorite
cookies--I just LOVE almonds!
