Name: Date Pinwheel Cookies
Ingredients: 1/2 c Butter; 1/2 c Margarine; 1 c Sugar; 1 c Brown sugar; 2 Eggs; 1 ts Baking soda; 3 3/4 c All purpose flour; 1 lb Dates; 1/2 c Sugar; 1 c Water; 1/2 c Chopped walnuts

My principal motivation in life must be to increase my pleasure in God. In fact, my prayer every day is “Oh God, mobilize all Your power on my behalf to maximize my pleasure and delight in You.” Don’t misunderstand what I’m suggesting. I’m not saying that pleasure is put above God, nor that pleasure is God. I’m saying that our pleasure must be in God. The pleasure or satisfaction we seek is God Himself. God is not a tool for finding pleasure. God is not the shovel, so to speak, with which we dig for buried jewels. God is Himself that treasure. The Christian’s pursuit of happiness is consummated when we find in God our all in all. He and He alone is our exceeding great reward. He is not a means to a higher end. He is the end.
