Satisfaction will never come if we claim to have God, but then quench our souls on the short-lived, inadequate pleasures of this world. These “thirst quenchers” are really spiritual poison and are condemned by our Lord. Through the Prophet Jeremiah, God said, “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to hew for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water” (Jer. 2:13). Our only hope comes if we can “thirst” and “yearn” to drink from the living God. As Jesus said, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink” (Jn. 7:37).

INSTRUCTIONS

From: Mrs. Fields Cookie Cookbook Posted by: Donna Ransdell
Cookies:
Preheat oven to 300 F. In a medium bowl, combine flour, soda, salt,
cinnamon, ginger and allspice. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside. In
a large bowl beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed
til mixture forms a grainy paste. Scrape sides of bowl, then add molasses
and egg. Beat until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture and raisins,
and blend at low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
Divide dough in half and shape each half roll into a roll 1 1/2 inches in
diameter. Wrap rolls in waxed paper and refrigerate until firm, about 2
hours. Slice cookies 1/2" thick and place on ungreased cookie sheets, 1
1/2" apart. Bake for 25-27 minutes until cookies are set. Immediately
transfer cookies with a spatula to a cool surface like your countertop.
To prepare the icing: Blend sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Using a small spoon or knife, drizzle cookies with icing.

A Message from our Provider:

“Where love is, God is. #Henry Drummond”

Jesus loved the enthusiast, the man who knew what side he was on and threw himself whole-heartedly into the struggle. He liked energetic action, as in the men who climbed the roof and broke a way through for their paralyzed friend, or in Zacchaeus who forgot his dignity and swarmed up a tree. He loved the generous giver. All four Gospels quote His saying, 'He who loves life loses it; he who spends keeps.' It sums up His attitude to life. He praised the man who banged on the door till he got an answer; He wanted men to show that kind of determination in the affairs of religion. He praised the widow who badgered the unjust judge into doing justice. He did not like playing for safety or burying one’s talent. It is the peace-makers rather than the peace-keepers whom He blesses. Goodness is a positive active loyalty (Hugh Martin).
