Hey now.
When I went to that painting class,
Did you say to me “Make us a video of all Jolynn’s painting tips!”
You did not.
I cannot think it would be anything but
A whole lot of cheeky and insufferable
If I did.
One could argue that my last post was cheeky and insufferable,
But I didn’t know you’d take it so hard.
I figured you all knew
How to make chocolate chip cookies
And I was a late bloomer.
Grin.
How do you know they’re good?
If you want an online recipe for chocolate chip cookies,
You can find one here, and here,
And here and here and here and here and here,
Complete with videos.
They’re all the same.
The point of that post, my children, was not chocolate chip cookies,
Though the photos distracted you.
I promise
There is someone living near you
Who can make cookies smashingly
And show you how.
The point, and I regret I have to spell it out for you
Because I am not always good at living it myself
Is
No amount of detached communicating
Is ever as effective
Or as fun
As being
With.
Who in your community
Could teach you what you need to know
If you
Would
Ask
?
Oh Shari, wat a reminder (complete with photos – thank you again for soul food!) to look to others to learn from them. Not to compare ourselves n think “they can do such n such so much better”, but to look at what we can learn n enjoy from others, n ALLOW THEM to complete us! Thank you!
Shari, you are so right. Though I do enjoy watching a tutorial, it’s much more enjoyable to have a friend come over and teach me how to sew a simple veiling or make that perfect pie crust.
I appreciate the reminder. Have a blessed rest of your week.
absolutely superbly done.
I still clearly remember the sunny day at age 16, going to an older lady’s home to watch her make bread. Nothing like in-person tutorials. Plus the friendship, of course! My Joy was named Pat, and she’s gone now, but I love to come across her recipes in my big folder, in hen-scratching script, that takes me instantly back…
So true & I love this sweet reminder
This is clever, and so true, and there are many things I need to know, but I don’t know who to ask. Thanks for the reminder to ask God to show me.
This comment, unexpectedly, made me cry. God bless you as you search.
…and then she was moved…although not into dashing for the video camera. 😉 fine with me-I dislike video tutorials-particularly those in which hyper music is played in lieu of helpful monologue.
Once again, you’re right. A great reminder! I’m still going to raid your recipe stash though. ?
Oh yeah. I’m waiting for ya. ?
Stand firm and continue to model this concept, my friend!!!
Though I’d really like that recipe too,
all I’ve got to say to your thought is
❤️❤️❤️
?
Touché!
I agree wholeheartedly with your premise, and appreciate very much what you’ve said.
I just would love one more cookie recipe to play with. ?
