Sometimes when you pray for help, it doesn’t come right away. Sometimes it comes days later in the form of a phone call from a well-meaning grandparent who just happens to say exactly what you didn’t know you needed to hear.
Sometimes it comes through ways you couldn’t have foreseen:
Somehow that sunset meant more to me than almost anything else, though I would have never thought to ask for it.
Can you imagine?
Dear God,
I’d sure like a pick-me-up. Can I order a gorgeous sunset? I think that would do the trick.
Amen.
I don’t know, maybe I’ve got it wrong. Maybe it does work like that, but I don’t have the guts to speak so frankly to Heavenly Father. It seems rude. I mean, I wouldn’t say that to anyone!
Dear Mom,
I need a pick-me-up. Can I order a plate of your cookies?
Goodbye.
Usually when Mom can tell I need a pick-me-up, she sends along something like cookies. Sometimes when Mom’s not around, I plop my kid on the counter next to me and we MAKE cookies!
Let this be a lesson to you:
When life gives you lemons, call grandpa, make cookies, and wait for the sun to set. In that order.
