"Has anyone made such music in life by merely passing through it?" (John Buchan) Amy Carmichael speaks of such a life: "'She doeth little kindnesses that most leave undone or despise.' I think there is a great deal in the words, 'that most leave undone.' Perhaps they think them too small to do. But is anything small that helps to make another happy? The Second Mile has been described as the 'loving little extra things that need not be done, but which Love loves to do just because it loves."

ReplyDeleteI love Buchan and Amy. She read alot of his books that were published in her lifetime. Hard to find either today. LOVELY cookies. We must bake.

Oh my.........!Thank You for your Valentine!
Beautiful cookies...and thoughts too. Thank you for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteSo very true! I love to make people happy each and every day no matter how small the gesture. Sometimes even a genuine smile is more than enough. Those cookies look delightful. I must bake this weekend so I can use the beautiful crystal sugars I got from Dean & DeLuca. Have a blessed day! :) Tammy
