Recipe: Cherry Lush

I recently made this recipe for my family and it was a hit! It is very simple and tastes great.

Cherry Lush

9 graham crackers (one package)

1 cup of walnuts (optional)

1/2 cup butter (melted)

2 tbsp. granulated sugar

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2-8 oz. tubs Cool Whip

42 oz. cherry pie filling (2-21 oz. cans)

1/2 cup walnuts chopped, for topping (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, blend the graham crackers and walnuts until finely chopped. (I do not have a food processor so I did this by hand.) Add in the butter and sugar until well combined and press into the bottom of a greased 13x9 pan. Bake for 8 minutes and let cool completely.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Beat in about 1 cup of Cool Whip so there are no lumps. Fold in the remaining whipped topping from the container of Cool Whip you took one cup from. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust.

Add the cherry pie filling in an even layer. Top with the other tub of Cool Whip. Garnish with chopped walnuts if desired.

Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.

*I have one daughter who does not like nuts so I didn't use them in the crust or on the top.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27
