Good deeds never tasted so good

This weekend my small group at church and I baked cookies to take to the elderly who were shut in at their homes since they are getting older and can’t leave the house. We started baking cookies at 11p.m. and were up till 2 a.m. decorating them!
 
Our whole small group sitting down to decorate all the cookies we made :)

I think we went a little overboard with the decorating….
  
  
And those were only some of the plates of cookies. By the end of the night we have 14 plates of cookies that we took with us to give to the people.

When we delivered all the cookie plates that we made to the elderly people that were in their shut-ins their faces immediately brightened up and it made my day. Nothing makes you feel better than doing a good dead for someone else.

Deuteronomy 15:10
Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.




This verse fits perfectly because it truly shows that if you give you will be blessed and I am blessed because my Lord gives to me. Because He gives to me I will give to others, and will continue to do so. The feeling of making someone happy is priceless.


Tis the season to give! So give generously and with an open heart. Don’t take more than you give and always find ways to show God’s love to others.
