Homemade Cookies

Monday morning I woke up and I have to admit there were a lot of things going through my head. There was only 1 day until the boys went back to school and I had a list of things that I had wanted to get done! Being sick the 2 weeks prior had not helped me get those things accomplished! But as I thought about all the things, I had to prioritize! I hashed things out and although I felt less than the Super Mom I wanted to me, I knew I couldn't do it all.

One thing in particular stood out. I have always had homemade cookies for the boys first day of school lunches. Not a big deal, and yet somehow it was. I knew that with strep and an ear infection still clearing up, it was not a good idea to even attempt the cookies.

I simply prayed, Lord, help me to not worry about the cookies! After all, the boys probably won't even care!

I had to make a run to the grocery store, so I figured I would pick up a bag of some kind of cookies to use for this first week until I could get something made.

I write all this to say that the God of the Universe even cares about Homemade Cookies.

Before 12 hours had passed, 3 dozen homemade cookies had been delivered to our door by caring friends. Neither of which new my prayer early in the morning!

Isn't that Great! A blog friend I read refers to Him as, Our Mountain Moving, Awe Inspiring, Grasp Giving God of the Universe and He even cares about Homemade Cookies!

When the first dozen came, I had to chuckle as I told the story to a sweet lady in our church who had brought a whole bag of goodies to cheer me up! But when the 2nd and 3rd dozen arrived, I nearly cried!

He loves us that much! Homemade Cookies were not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but to this Momma who couldn't do it all on the day before the start of a new school year - Homemade Cookies were a gift from Jesus!

Thank you Jesus!
