I took the menu opened it up, and then, there it was. All the hardships
and boredom of my trip had come to a complete end. I could not believe 
what I was seeing on that dessert menu. 

I could not remember how long it was since I had one of those desserts.
But there it was! A slice of old-fashioned Amish shoofly pie. That got 
my heart thumping! There is no dessert quite like Amish shoofly pie. 

Whoever invented the shoofly pie should get the Nobel Peace Prize. I
know of no peace quite like a piece of shoofly pie. 

“Have you decided on your dessert?” 

I looked at the waitress and smiled like I had not smiled all week. 

“I will have,” I said as dignified as I could, “a piece of your shoofly
pie.” 

“Good choice, Sir.” 

And boy, was it a good choice! I savored every bite of that shoofly pie.
It made the rest of the trip a delicious delight. 

Thinking of that pie was the great delight for the rest of my travel. I
understood David when he wrote, “Delight thyself also in the Lord: and 
he shall give thee the desires of thine heart” (Psalm 37:4). 

Oftentimes I get so busy that all I can think about is the task before
me. I am learning that in the midst of the busiest of tasks I can 
experience a wonderful delight in the Lord.
