Royal Ranger Cookies...

For those of you who are unfamiliar with what Royal Rangers are...

It is a wonderful boys program through our denomination (Assemblies of God) at church very similar to scouting.

The earn merit badges, go on campouts, all kinds of things.

Except with Royal Rangers...there is also a spiritual emphasis as well.

My boys have grown and matured so much since being in the program.

My oldest has gone to three of the state-wide campouts (Pow Wow) with Rangers from all over the state.

This year, he will go to the national Camp-A-Rama...with boys from all over our country...including a couple other countries!

They both have shirts and vests filled with merit badges!

They do Pinewood Derby just like in scouting.

But most of all, I'm so blessed by how they've grown in their relationship with the Lord.

We have an amazing program at our church.

We have dedicated leaders that are there every week.

They go through all the training.

And volunteer so many hours with our boys.

Our Senior Commanders (the leaders in charge of our whole Outpost at our church) are amazing and we love them so much!

So I decided to make a little thank-you basket for them.

And what better way to say thank-you, than with cookies!

I won't lie...the Royal Ranger emblem was tricky.

But for freehand...I was VERY impressed with how they turned out.

And so to you Wayne and Barb...we say THANK-YOU from the very bottom of our heart!

You bless our boys and we appreciate your dedication and leadership all these years!

God bless you!
