Chocolate Chip Cookies

Last week my wife Traci made homemade chocolate chip cookies.  I’m sure everyone remembers the smell coming from the oven, and the great taste they have just out of the oven.  If they are made correctly the chips melt even days later when you eat one.  They are just a wonderful thing to have, even if they aren’t too wonderful for you.

As I was eating one of the chocolate chip cookies the other day I thought about how much I enjoyed that cookie.  The flavor was just perfect, they were not burnt at all, and the chips were melting just perfectly .  Then I related this to my Christian walk.  How at times I just have it perfect.  I’m fully experiencing the love of my Heavenly Father, and it melts in my mouth.  I experience it like the cookie, almost like it’s a little hug from the person who made it. 

The other thought about that cookie and its relationship  to my Christian walk is that oftentimes I enjoy it so much that I don’t want to share.  Yet, when I do share, I get to pass on the love to others who will enjoy it as much as I do.  Why wouldn’t I want to share that cookie, or God’s love, with others?  Why wouldn’t you?
