Ocean Refuge Decorated Cookie Collection

Refuge…. oh how we need a refuge….a place of shelter, protection, and safety.

I planned this cookie set out of my own need for the refuge of God. But when I decorated this set, our world was in the midst of the coronavirus crisis. God’s timing is perfect. This was/is an apropos message for all of us….at all times.

I love how cookies can be a way of expression….and also a way to send an important, encouraging message.

Tranquil Decorated Cookie Collection

As I’ve shared before……since my cancer diagnosis, my cookie decorating has become more than a hobby. It is a way to express the messages of my heart…..whether that is where my heart actually is right now, or where it NEEDS to be.

Stress contributes to physical illness. So as my doctor has continued to reiterate every time I see her…..the goal is to practice relaxation and learn to dwell on the blessings of life. I’ve picked many words that have become part of my mantra and tranquil is one of them.

tranquil [trang-kwil]
adjective
1) free from commotion or tumult; peaceful; quiet; calm
2) free from or unaffected by disturbing emotions; unagitated; serene; placid

All of these cookies help me to dwell on peace, quiet, and calm and not be affected by all the mayhem around me. So I offer them to you as a gift……
to bring you to that sweet quiet place of serenity. ❤️

A heart at peace gives life to the body. Proverbs 14:30
