The Cookie Jar

By Elsie Duncan Yale 

You may talk about your vases,

Just how beautiful they are,

But to me there’s nothing nicer

Than a well-filled cookie jar!

Ginger cookies, raisin cookies,

Some with walnuts, some with spice,

Orange cookies, chocolate cookies,

Why, I think they all are nice.

And that cookie jar of Mother’s

Stands upon the pantry shelf;

When I’m hungry she will tell me,

I may go and help myself.

Yes, I’ve seen some handsome vases,

Brought from near or brought from far.

But there’s nothing that is prettier,

Than a well-filled cookie jar!

  • December 13th (Sunday) at 3:00 pm - SING ALONG MESSIAH.  Consider including this uplifting community event in your Christmas plans.  Admission by cash and food donation with all proceeds going to stock up the Blessing Box.
