rainy days always call for baking cookies and snuggling up to watch a movie on the couch. the sweet scent of baking in the air and the feeling of being warm and cozy while it is dreary and brisk outside. oh if only we could do that! i suppose i would rather work on a day that is raining than a bright sunny day because then i would only want to be outside. so really are we ever content and satisfied with what we are doing? that would be the question ladies and gentlemen. perhaps that is the underlying problem....i am not truly finding my complete satisfaction in Christ, thus not finding contentment in all areas of my life. hmmm....something to think and act on!here's a recipe for some GREAT monster cookies. thanks paula dean!
