Each runner had speed and endurance but only today’s records would matter. The starter gun sounded and the race began. The quick starters could not maintain. Run a steady pace for Christ in the race of life. The apostle Paul used the imagery of a race to make the point that we race for the prize. Make your race count this CHRISTmas season.

Christmas Wreath Cookies These are great cookies you can make with corn flakes. These are naturally gluten free. Christmas Wreaths are a festive cookie made from corn flakes, butter, and marshmallows. Ingredients · 1/3 cup butter · 10 ounces marshmallows · 6-8 drops green food coloring · 6 cups corn flakes · 50 - 60 "Red Hot" candies Instructions In a medium sized sauce pan. Melt 1/3 cup of butter with 10 ounces of marshmallows. While the butter and marshmallows are melting together add in 6 to 8 drops of green food coloring. Once the butter and marshmallows have melted together gently stir in 6 cups of corn flakes coating the corn flakes with the marshmallow mixture. Take a 1/4 cup measuring cup and spray with a non-stick spray. Scoop corn flake mixture out onto waxed paper. Spray fingers with non-stick spray and quickly shape the corn flakes into a holiday wreath. Immediately add 3 or 4 "Red Hots" over the wreath. Quickly work with the remaining corn flake mixture making wreaths as quickly as possible. ENJOY! |
