Love, Cookies & Lasting Relationships

Have you ever tasted one of Debbie Fields’ delicious, hot from the oven, chocolate chip cookies? Although I wouldn’t advocate eating them on a regular basis, I have to admit that, along side a fresh glass of skim milk, those chocolate morsels melting in your mouth are absolutely delicious.

So what if you wanted to make cookies just like Debbie Fields’ cookies? Is it possible? The answer is: “absolutely”! All you need is her recipe, the proper ingredients, and, perhaps, a lot of practice.

February is the month of LOVE.  Test yourself to see if you are truly full of LOVE by putting your name in the blanks below.  Then ask yourself if you are really reflecting LOVE in your relationships at work and home.

“________________ is patient, ____________________ is kind. ___________________ not envy or boast, _____________________ is not proud, rude or self-seeking. ____________________ takes no record of wrongs. ______________________ does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth. ______________________ believes all things, hopes all things and ______________________ NEVER FAILS.”
