As I was getting ready for worship today I was flitting back and forth from my office as I usually do. I find my time on Sunday mornings split between unlocking the building, setting up the media stuff, communion elements, wrangling Eden (when she is with me), being asked questions, making up answers, remembering where the rope to my robe went…the list goes on.
Usually I am focused and determined to check off the next thing that is on my list. But something stopped me in my tracks when i went into my office and saw a 2 little pieces of heaven sitting on my desk. They were the most beautiful things I had ever seen before 8:30 on a Sunday morning…
Two count them Two OREO cookies bathed in fudge made their way on to my desk on this beautiful fall day. All morning I plotted what their fate would be. Then Finally I made my decision. One would be the fuel i needed to get through our 11:00 service because I am always in need of some sustenance for our 3rd service of the day. Goldfish are the typical offering to quench my 10:55 hunger, but my salty friends were put on hold for one that was oh so sweeter.
Thanks to the sugar packed pick-me-up I was going strong after the morning services. And in fact I felt so good that i ate the second fudge covered delight without a second thought. If you think about it, it would have been rude of me to take such a gem home to my wife who can’t eat them anyway. It was the gentlemanly thing to do.
Thanks Amber for the great start for my day. 🙂
