Does it ever feel like you're in a rut??? I sure feel like one lately. It is such a shame that so much of life is just a big built in routine that leaves no time for the things that truly matter. You have to get out of your box and take a step away from the routine and make the time for those things (or more importantly ~ people) that really matter. Where are the real treasures of life? Surely not the gold and silver that are stored up on this earth ~ those seem to not matter much especially in our current day with economic crisis. The true treasures are those that are not always tangible ~ the ones that are stored up in Heaven. The lessons that we teach our children, the time spent with a loved one, or more importantly a stranger, those times that we are furthering the work of our Lord and Savior ~ these are the true treasures of life! It is to unfortunate that life gets in the way of this. The life of routine, the rat race! So, as you have probably guessed that it what my mind has dwelt on lately ~ the need to spend time and energy on the important, meaningful treasures of life.

Since, my sweet doodle has been begging (at times whining) to make cookies, cause this Momma promised we would. She was right. I promised. I didn't give an exact day or time. I don't know how I will feel from one moment to the next with these crazy pregnancy hormones. And h...
