One of the ways Ruth Bell Graham showed love to her family, friends, and even strangers was by cooking or baking.
Her son, Franklin Graham, once said, “She loved God’s people, especially those who needed a helping hand, a guiding touch, or a loving hug. She delighted in doing things that you never heard about—cooking for a sick neighbor, teaching Sunday school, and visiting the jail.”
Encourage others by sharing these delicious cookies with friends and family—and those who could use a little extra care this Christmas.
