Savor life's sweetness

At the storytelling conference

we paid for the box lunch on Saturday

It must be a Utah thing

I've never before had such an impressive looking dessert with a box lunch

We had a choice....rich chocolate cake or slice of cheese cake

It was NOT one of my sugar days

so I tucked my DE-licious looking cheese cake into my nearly empty lunch box

and carried it around with me

all afternoon

and

stashed it in the trunk all evening

while we were out with family

Now THAT is dedication

(Oh that I would cling to my scriptures with such focus)

I looked forward to Sunday---which I had chosen as my sugar day of that week

Kind of like life, don't you think?

Sometimes a savored hope is delayed

or unobtainable in the present moment

There are some sweet things I anticipate in eternity

Perhaps all the more delicious

for having to wait a while

As for the cheese cake. . .

On my drive back home on Sunday

I pulled over before I even got out of town

It's time, I declared aloud

Break open the lunch box

Savor the creamy smoothness with a touch of lemon

And with the first forkful I gave a shout-out toast to my little sister

Happy Birthday, Kristen, this bite's for you!

Here...I'll help you with that

Um-m-m-m-m

Thanks for sharing

What sweetness are you enjoying or hoping for?
