A Mom who cares so much for me and takes so much time to teach, correct, and love me. Who gave up having her own life to have children to raise for the Lord and set an amazing example for them.

A Dad who works very hard to provide all our needs to make sure that we have everything that is necessary to live. A warm house, food, a vehicle, clothes, love, and much more.

I love a Mexican dinner. Especially when it consists of Beans, Spanish Rice, Taquitos, Salsa, Con Queso, Tortillas. It is so good. Being from New Mexico, we were taught our to make ‘real’ Mexican food.
Not only was it delicious, but it was an easy meal, and it was a quick clean up. We didn’t spend too much time in the kitchen at all.

Here are some scriptures on thankfulness:

Philippians 4:6
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

Revelation 7:12
“Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.”

My favorite cookies are Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. Chocolate and Peanut Butter belong together. What a better way to be together than in a cookie!!

1/2 sup of evaporated cane juice
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of crunchy peanut butter
1/2 package of semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 organic shortening
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1 egg
1 1/4 cups of whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
Mix sugars, peanut, shortening, butter, and egg. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Shape dough into balls. Place 3in. apart on cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross with fork. Bake until light brown, 9-10min. Cool 2min. ENJOY!!

I don’t really bake that much, but the only memory I can think of is of baking with my family is when we were reading “The Hobbit” as a family and we were so into the book that we needed some cookies to go with our reading. So Mom read the book to us while we baked cookies. It was a special occasion because it was really late at nite.

I don’t know why, but this verse stuck out to me…

Joel 2:12-18 KJV
12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and th altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.”

Love, Prayers, and Blessings as always,
