A year ago, we attended a silent auction at our church. Naturally, my youngest son Nate, who knows me all too well, led me to a large bin of homemade cookies on the auction block. A boy after my own heart! I quickly allowed him to bid on the rights to those cookies. Time after time he would check the status of the bidding of those cookies and report back to me, where my reply was always, “Ok, you can bid higher.” With Nate by my side and my desire for the cookies, the results were inevitable, we won those cookies!
After winning the cookies, people began approaching us telling us how “lucky we are to have won the cookies”, and that “we are in for a pure treat”, and that “nobody makes cookies like those”, as well as cash offers and offers of “I’ll be your friend for one” man, I could not wait to get in the car and dig into those cookies! Soon enough, we did just that, as we found ourselves making the drive home while experiencing the best cookies we ever had.
