This week for work I was in charge of the July Birthday Treat!

I made my signature Rolo Cookies and tried a recipe for Cookie Butter Cookies I found on Pinterest:

Roll 1 tablespoon cookie dough into a ball; flatten into palm of your hand. Place 1 Rolo in the center; bring sides together and roll into ball. Roll ball in the remaining ¼ white sugar. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes.

Lessons from Church

"The purpose of this life is to not only get a body and be tested, but also seek examples of eternal happiness in this life. What a great blessing it is to seek the positive and find pure happiness" - Markae Evans, Relief Society Lesson 07/07/13

What a great blessing it is to seek happiness! I think sometimes we focus too much on the hardships in life and the trials we face. Instead of dwelling on the negative we should focus on finding the positive in life.
