Yesterday was a great day! Not that all days are great in one way or another, yesterday brought an
inner smile.
I’ve been baking cookies for my grandson Bryce and his classmates since first grade. He’s now in
fifth. Every Friday I’ve watched his eyes light up as I appeared with another batch of cookies. It’s
been fun listening to the kids guessing which kind I've made for them. Chocolate chip has been the
all time favorite.
Last week, a thought occurred. I was looking at the kids’ desks and while a few looked neat, most of
them (including Bryce’s) looked sloppy. Oh my gosh, stuff all over the floor – I put out a challenge –
cleaned up space would be rewarded. The kids seemed real eager to take it on.
Yesterday I arrived with chocolate chip cookies. It was so fun to see those kids eagerly waiting.
Going from desk to desk, I’d ask each child if their area was clean – it was interesting how the kids
made it fun – they realized I had cookies for all and those who’d taken the time to spruce up their
area got an extra cookie. There wasn’t shame or ridicule; in fact some were talking about getting
that extra cookie next week.
This experience doesn’t stop here – Bryce had a messy area and like the others he got two cookies.
Generally at the end of distributing the cookies I give him the remaining to take home (as if they last
that long), this time I changed my mind. Bryce was surprised when I told him I
would be taking the remaining cookies with me.
As I am writing this I pondered how the concepts might apply from a Universe perspective. Here’s
what’s coming thru: we’re provided for
the amount we’re able to manage.
When a person isn’t receiving a wage increase and they believe they deserve it, it’s because on
some level, they’re not ready for it. Behind the scenes maybe they procrastinate paying their
expenses when due
or they squander their existing funds or cheat other’s out of theirs, and
or behave in ways that are out of alignment with the universal flow of life.
