Delight Yourself in the Lord...in October

Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight Yourself in the Lord."

So I said to myself:

Which is one of my very favorite-ish months?

October, of course! 

Here's what I love about October

and how it makes me happy 

and wanting to praise God this month:

Walking thru the crackling leaves.

I love the sound

pumpkins, and gourds and acorns galore
White and orange, brown and green
I love the beauty

cool crisp air and misty mornings
I love the feel

The outdoors and warmth
Roasting hot dogs and marshmallows
I love the taste.


May we all take time to appreciate this day. This month.
Autumn blessings!

C is for Cookie

by Shirley Raye Redmond

October is National Cookie Month, so I thought I take this opportunity to share a favorite no-bake cookie recipe with you.  My family calls it Hopscotch, but you may have eaten something similar called chow mein noodle cookies.

You will need:

2 cups (12 oz pkg.) butterscotch chips
1-cup peanut butter
4 cups mini marshmallows
4 cups chow mein noodles

Melt the butterscotch chips on low in the microwave. Stir in the peanut butter. In a larger bowl toss marshmallows with chow mein noodles. Pour the butterscotch mixture over this and mix thoroughly.

Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto cookie sheets lined with wax paper. Chill until set.

Enjoy!

What’s your favorite cookie? If it’s a no-bake cookie, all the better!
