A dear lady that was our Relief Society President while we were in Maryland would make these all the time for church functions or when she'd just come to visit me. It was always sweet. I knew she always had plenty to do, so making the cookies was a real sacrifice of time for her I'm sure. I have to say that she has shown me how to serve with a joyful heart, and that service doesn't always have to be a big thing in order to mean the world to someone else.
