run over to Publix and pick this up for me?” 

I find it very hard to subdue hilarious laughter under circumstances
like this. I worked hard and solemnly said, "Oh, my dear. I can go 
right now, and there's no problem at all." 

Like magic, I disappeared from the house and started the car before I
even got in it and headed for Publix. All I could think about was those 
wonderfully delicious Girl Scout cookies. After all, when I buy Girl 
Scout cookies, I'm helping to support some young ladies who need it. 
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. 

Walking up to the girls at Publix, I almost forgot what I had come to
pick up. 

I looked at them and said, “I'll be back after I go do some shopping.” 

I'm always as good as my word, and I came back, and since I could not
make up my mind as to what cookies I wanted to purchase, I did the 
gentlemanly thing and bought one of each cookie they had for sale. How 
much it cost has no relativity to my desire for these cookies. 

As I put the bag on the kitchen table, my wife happened to look at it
and said to me, "Those are not Girl Scout cookies, are they?" 

“Isn't that what you wanted me to buy?” 

She just stared at me, but all I could think about was eating that first
cookie. 

As I delighted in eating that first cookie, I was reminded of what David
said in one of his Psalms, "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he 
shall give thee the desires of thine heart” (Psalms 37:4). 

As much as I delight in these cookies, my greater delight is in the
Lord. As I delight in the Lord, I enjoy all the delicacies of that 
relationship.
