A Warm Welcome to Carol James To enter to win  Mary’s Christmas Surprise leave a comment and an email address below. Carol shares a Bible verse to nourish our souls and a recipe to whet our appetites.  One of Carol's favorite Bible verses is Psalm 91:1-2 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High     will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,     my God, in whom I trust.” One of Carol's favorite recipes is her mother’s Cookie Canes My mother had the gift hospitality. Not only did she enjoy cooking and entertaining, but she was good at both. One of my favorite possessions is her recipe book. I love looking at the stained pages and wondering how old I was when those markings were made. Some of my fondest holiday memories are the times she and I made Christmas cookies together. My favorites were her cookie canes, maybe because my special job was using a hammer o...

A Warm Welcome to Anita Klumpers To enter to win the eBook of  Christmas Past  leave a comment and an email address below.  Anita shares a Bible verse to nourish our souls and a recipe to whet our appetites. One of Anita's favorite Bible verses Like everyone else who loves God’s Word, I have too many mercies to count! But the verse I found highlighted in my dad’s Bible as God prepared to take him home is a joy to me: Through the LORD’S mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. The LORD is my portion,” says my soul. Therefore I hope in Him!” Lamentations 3:22-24 (NKJV) One of Anita's favorite recipes: Adele’s Apple Donuts In the early 1960s, we lived in Denver. My mom, Adele, heard this recipe on the radio and jotted it down. It’s been a family favorite ever since. Not sure why they are called donuts when they are baked in a muffin tin. But who am I to qu...

A Warm Welcome to Regina Merrick Regina shares a Bible verse she's cherished since her teens to nourish our souls and an easy, yummy recipe. She'll give away an E-book of Carolina Mercy . To enter to win leave a comment and an email address below. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 This verse has been “my verse” since I was a teen and was struggling with a disappointment that had so little to do with what I wanted, and so much to do with what God wanted FOR me. It was years later that I learned, and used as the foundation for my first book, Carolina Dream , that when we literally delight in the Lord, it’s not our “wishes” that we should focus on, but instead that His desires become our desires!
