it’s the monday giggles…

If a man does not keep pace with his companions
perhaps it is because he hears the beat
of his own drum.
Henry David Thoreau
Drumroll, please…

In a few days I will have been blogging for two years.

I remember sitting on my god-daughter’s couch as she navigated me through the steps of setting up a Word Press account. I was fascinated by the possibilities. I marveled at all the choices. And I was over-whelmed at the potential enormity of it all!
Was I even really certain I wanted to do this?
What really is blogging anyway?
Would God be pleased with this?
nibble, nibble, nibble…
crumbs on the plate.
nibble, nibble, nibble…
it’s almost too late!
Hurry-Up!
Or you’ll miss the last bite
of something that is great!

“Merry Christmas,” greetings are quickly changing to “Happy New Year!”
Even holiday parties are transitioning from the celebration of Christ’s birth & the twelve days of Christmas to New Year’s preparations.
But I’m holding on to the last crumb!
I’m savoring the final nibble.
I’m lingering within the joy of our Saviour’s birth!
The celebration of Christmas and the joy which comes from welcoming others into our home, as a communal participation in the celebration of the birth of a savior, adds a BOUNCE…and a skip, to one’s step.
OH, joy! OH, joy! Let us prepare for Him!
And today I’m reflecting back on those bounces, and skippity-skips and allowing them to just sink in to make imprints on my heart. Imprints I may run my memory over from time to time as the New Year approaches, to remember He is to be celebrated not just during the Christmas Season but the whole year through!
And with this personal revelation, this God inspired moment, Helen and I have decided to make this year…the year of more Cookies!

We may save baking The Dawn’s famous red-truck Christmas Cookies for the Holiday Season; however,






there will be cookies to be made & shared throughout the year, as a reminder of the continual saving grace of a God who loves us!
Please stop in around the 25th of each month to discover the cookie Helen and I will have been inspired to bake together!

Perhaps even share a nibble with us!
Don’t be shy…Helen is good at picking up the crumbs off the floor!

warmed baked hugs n’ blessings until the very last nibble!!
