Valentine Cookies

I think of Valentines Day and I think of hearts and flowers, and especially roses and carnations.
These cookies have both hearts and flowers.
Poets write of gardens as places for lovers to meet, as when Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote “Come into the garden, Maud, I am here at the gate alone.”
Romeo and Juliet, Pyramus and Thisbe, Adam and Eve, all spent time in gardens.
Claude Monet wrote of his flowers “More than anything, I must have flowers, always, always.”
Happy Valentines Day to you.
If perchance you are alone or heart broken at this time, remember “Jesus calls me His friend” John 15:15 and “I am part of Jesus’ flock and He is my Shepherd / Leader.” Psalm 23:1

Sweet looking cookies and such a wonderful verse for today.
Those cookies are almost too pretty to eat.
Great Bible verse!!
Happy Valentine's Day and thank you for sharing those lovely verses.
Oh, Tera, those look so good. Like Dottie, I love Valentine's Day, too. Happy Love Day to YOU! Susan
'Come into the garden, Maude' -- my father used to sing that to my mum, with a silly look on his face! Lovely childhood memory of mine. Thanks for reminding me. He also used to say ' There's a garden at the bottom of my fairy'. Ha.
Happy Valentine's Day to you! Love your post- the cookies are fun- and for reminding those that they are not really alone.
Hello:
To paraphrase a saying of Buddha, in the end we shall be judged by how much we have loved. Of course, to love and to lose is painful but not to love at all is not an option.
Love makes the world go round....but your heart shaped biscuits may help...!!!!
Sweet cookies for sure.
I am alone this year but still am planning to fix a lovely dinner just for myself, and the company of Jesus, and the wonderful memories of my dear husband of 43 years.

My favorite "Garden" verse is from Song of Solomon 7:12 "Let us go early to the vineyards (gardens) and see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom ~ there I will give you my love."
About 13 years ago, I was longing for a closer intimacy with the Lover of my Soul, and this verse led me there.
I would rise early int the morning 4:30 before getting ready for work, and slip into "my vinyard, my garden" which was a little glass table tucked in the corner of our large living room. I even had flowers and fake grapes on the table. There I pour out my heart to the Lord, and he met me in my garden and showed me his love in new and special ways.... and that's where the deeper walk began.
I do like Valentine's Day, and I'm all for celebrating one's own worth and wonderfulness. Happy hearts-and-flowers day!
I enjoy valentines day.
Hello

Love the verse for today and the cookies look so pretty.
I read the post about the flowering tea and found that to be amazing, I will have to look into that. I had not heard of that tea before.
Blessings today

Those are pretty cookies. I am not a "big" cookie fan and would probably eat only two or three bites of any kind.

Perfect scripture share btw.
