Sunday Sharing

Today we made some brownies for a neighbor who made our family dinner after I had surgery.  We just wanted to thank people who thought of us in our time of need.

As we walked the plate of brownies to the door, it felt good to think we were giving back, just a little.

I handed the plate of brownies to the family, and they looked surprised.  One of them laughed, and spoke, "That's so funny," she said, "We were just making cookies for your family."  


We talked a while and left with a plate of freshly baked cookies.  Yum!

As I walked home, I thought about the kindness of our neighbors, and how we had tried to repay them, only to be blessed by them again.

Then I thought of how God is like that.  He blesses us every day.  His blessings are all around us.  We are "unprofitable servants," and yet we attempt to serve.  We love.  We give.  We serve.  Then he blesses us again, and we are still indebted to him.

Who knew there were lessons in a plate of cookies?
