Cookie love for a military family

There is only one box of cookies that I am mailing out this Christmas.




They are going to a special family that I have had on my heart and in my prayers since they lost their son on September 1 of this year. 




This hit me close to home.
 I can only imagine the devastation felt, and how difficult the holidays must seem to all of the parents, spouses, children, and friends who are trying to make their way through loss at this time of year.  




You can better believe that I am counting my blessings.

There are a lot of terrible things that happen here at home and around the world, and I sure wish this enchanted oven had a really big magic wand to make it all better.  In a small gesture of support, I made some cookies that I infused with lots of love and prayers.





I am trying to take Mother Teresa's advice:
"Not all of us can do great things.  But we can do small things with great love".  





Would you like to join me in a small act of love?





Imperial Sugar has partnered with Operation Homefront, a nonprofit organization that provides emergency assistance for our troops, for the families they leave behind, and for wounded warriors when they return home.  From now until 12/31/12 Imperial Sugar Company will donate $1 to Operation Homefront for every Imperial Sugar Facebook fan, twitter follower, and Pintrest follower.  
Click here to see how easy it is, and pass the information along however you can - tweet, post, blog, or shout from the rooftop!

I think I will be making Mother Teresa's words my mantra for the 2013, and I wish you all a beautiful holiday.

  6. Heya! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.

    Does managing a well-established blog like yours require a massive amount work?
    I'm brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my journal daily. I'd like to start a blog so I can share my
    own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
    Appreciate it!
