Once in a while I get a Christmas present to beat all Christmas presents. This year was one of those “once in a while’s.”

I put all the cards back together and laid this particular Christmas
card on the top. I invited my wife to come and sit down and look at 
some of the Christmas cards that had come from the family. 

She sat on the couch and I gave her the Christmas cards and then
returned to my chair to watch her opening up these Christmas cards. In 
the meantime, I had such a big grin on my face and I didn't know how to 
hide it. 

As my wife is opening up the Christmas card, she looked up at me and
said, “What in the world are you grinning about?” 

“I'm just having a happy Christmas season.” 

Then she opened the Christmas card containing her mother's recipe it her
own handwriting for “Apple Fritters.” She just stared at it for a few 
moments and then looked up at me with one of her classic stares. 

“What did you find?” I said as calmly as I could. 

“You know exactly what I found.” She was quiet for a few moments as she
looked at that handwritten recipe from her mother. 

“So,” I said rather slowly, “when can we expect that recipe to be used
in our kitchen?” 

She looked at me, then look back at the recipe card and spontaneously we
both burst out into hilarious laughter. 

I don't think I could have received a better Christmas present than
that. Proof positive that good mothers do make Apple Fritters. Maybe 
there will be some changes in our kitchen. 

Thinking about that I was reminded of a Scripture in the Old Testament.
“But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and 
be sure your sin will find you out” (Numbers 32:23). 

No matter what it is, it will always be exposed in the end.
