Beloved Sisters in Christ

I love my Domino Ladies!  I've been going to play dominoes once a month at My Dear Friend's house for several years. I took My Youngest there as a nursing babe to be held and bounced by women who were not exhausted and thought him crying was an adorable sight. They've given me feedback on schooling issues, food questions, teen weirdness and marriage quirks. We've sung hymns, studied scripture, reviewed books and discussed the merits of folding underwear. I love that they will give the hard advice if you ask for it, and always in loving kindness. Around the table, we've prayed, laughed, cried, debated, consoled, then laughed some more. Some of the funniest stories I've ever heard have been given at that table covered with dominoes! They are truly my Beloved Sisters in Christ! Last night, the Dove chocolate went around - each chocolate has a clever saying on the inside (which some people add to...tsk, tsk). Anyway, the wrappers were smoothed out, turned over, and each of  us picked one to take home as a parting 'word'. This is the one I came home with. My Husband approved. 

The recipes for the cookies was requested, so here it is:
