John Morris Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 One of lifes most wondrous pleasures is checking the cookie jar for a couple weeks, each and every day, and nothing is in it, I have then given up on the effort but still check the jar every other day now, then I just give up on it altogether. Then, for old times sake, I check it just for the heck of it, and it's full of home made Chocolate Chip cookies! I am serious, my world is completely fine today. Life has been throwing a few curve balls at us lately, my cookie jar has been empty, I awoke early today and laid in bed for a few minutes in the quite of the morning while the rest of the gang slept, I prayed to God, I asked for enlightenment and put all my trials and worries in HIS hands, I then got up in the darkness and walked my home and checked on the sleeping babes, and I then started my morning. And just now, I did my cursory cookie jar check and it was full. I know GOD did not make the cookies, but I think He has something to do with it. By the way, breakfast? You really have to ask! Hey, cookies have all the food groups in them don't they? Specially with a big glass of milk. Have a wonderful day friends. Link to comment

I'm paying for my debauchery this morning, right now I feel absolutely tired. Perhaps cookies for breakfast is not a good thing after all. Link to comment

I made a big batch of oatmeal raisin yesterday. Now, think of it this way; oatmeal is roughage and helps to lower Cholesterol (http://www.care2.com/greenliving/oatmeal-everyday-powerfood.html), raisins are a great source of iron (https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/fruit/health-benefits-of-raisins.html), cinnamon is great for revving up the metabolism (http://www.organicauthority.com/health/11-health-benefits-of-cinnamon.html). Now tell me how my cookies aren't good for you! Link to comment
