"It is time to seek the Lord."-Hosea 10:12
    
    This month of April is said to derive its name from the Latin verb aperio, which signifies to open, because all the buds and blossoms are now opening, and we have arrived at the gates of the flowery year. Reader, if you are yet unsaved, may your heart, in accord with the universal awakening of nature, be opened to receive the Lord. Every blossoming flower warns you that it is time to seek the Lord; be not out of tune with nature, but let your heart bud and bloom with holy desires. Do you tell me that the warm blood of youth leaps in your veins? then, I entreat you, give your vigour to the Lord. It was my unspeakable happiness to be called in early youth, and I could fain praise the Lord every day for it. Salvation is priceless, let it come when it may, but oh! an early salvation has a double value in it. Young men and maidens, since you may perish ere you reach your prime, "It is time to seek the Lord." Ye who feel the first signs of decay, quicken your pace: that hollow cough, that hectic flush, are warnings which you must not trifle with; with you it is indeed time to seek the Lord. Did I observe a little grey mingled with your once luxurious tresses? Years are stealing on apace, and death is drawing nearer by hasty marches, let each return of spring arouse you to set your house in order. Dear reader, if you are now advanced in life, let me entreat and implore you to delay no longer. There is a day of grace for you now-be thankful for that, but it is a limited season and grows shorter every time that clock ticks. Here in this silent chamber, on this first night of another month, I speak to you as best I can by paper and ink, and from my inmost soul, as God's servant, I lay before you this warning, "It is time to seek the Lord." Slight not that work, it may be your last call from destruction, the final syllable from the lip of grace.

funfetti cookies




My daughter makes these cookies the recipe was on the side of the cake mix box. They are so soft and oh so yummy! Suggest making double or triple batch it doesn't make many and if you have cookie monsters in your house they won't last long. The recipe says, "makes 3 dozen", but we do good to get 2 dozen. Maybe we make ours larger than the recipe says. We have a cookie scoop that makes the dough into balls so it is pretty much the same size cookies. Now on to the recipe.

Funfetti Cookies

Ingredients:
1 (18.9 oz.) pkg. Pillsbury Moist supreme funfetti cake mix
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
1/2 (15.6 oz.) can Pillsbury creamy supreme funfetti vanilla frosting

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. In large bowl, combine cake mix, oil and eggs; stir with spoon until thoroughly moistened. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. With bottom of glass dipped in flour, flatten to 1/4 inch thickness.

2. Bake 375 for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.

3. Spread frosting over cookies. Immediately sprinkle each cookie with candy bits from frosting package. Let frosting set before storing. Store in tightly covered container.
