I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

No Bake Cookies

These are incredibly easy to make. I like making these when it's really hot out and I just don't want to heat up the oven for cookies. I also make these at Christmas time.
