"Don't judge me", I forced the words out in the middle of a hysterical laugh. I said this to a young gentlemen as I got to the window at the McDonalds drive-up. LOL! I had just waited in a line hyper focused on the CRUMBL COOKIE box sitting in the passenger seat next to me. Like a dog waiting for a treat I was dreaming of biting into one of the deluxe cookie. I rolled the car through the speaker where I would have ordered, taking pictures of the box and content to send to my family members via text, for I knew I had beat them all by getting to the newly opened shop! I was so excited to brag that I missed the speaker and my order.
I woke up to the reality of what I had done and all I could do is laugh hysterically. Thus when I got to the window I could pay for nothing because I had not ordered. The boy responded with a laugh, "I won't judge." I just had to come clean that I truly was in line yet forgot to order, "Can I order now?" "Sure", the boy graciously accepted my order and I paid.
Do I even ask you if you have ever done this?
"It is such a Lainey thing to do", declared all my family members!
Maybe a better question to get to the point. If you were given the opportunity to do anything in the world you wanted, what would you choose to do?
I am constantly writing about our fast paced lives filled with many choices. Like the amount of stores, restaurants, baked good shops and travel destinations.
David the psalmist wrote, "ONE THING I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple. Psalm 27:4."
David the man after God's heart sums up his existence by this catchy opener "ONE THING". This has got a grip on me since I read it a week ago. In fact I woke up last night with the phrase on repeat in my head.
I'm sure you know someone who died recently, end of life situations is always a wake up call!
We must not race through the grieving process with out asking ourselves, "Death, what is after that?"
#eternitymatters
#crumblcookies is fun! God gave us fun!
BUT
ONE THING, sums up what really matters.
Pray with me: Lord help me to put things in perspective with "One Thing."
Don't get crumbled up in the lies that a job, food, travel, bigger house, better car etc. really really matters in the end.
