the back of that lower door. There they were, in all of their beauty. 

I carefully pulled one out, opened it, extracted three, and then decided
to make it four cookies. They look so delicious, especially in my hand. 
So I carefully closed up the box and put it way in the back so she 
wouldn't see it right away. 

I enjoyed eating those cookies that afternoon, the next afternoon, and
the next afternoon. Before I knew it, I had eaten two boxes of Girl 
Scout cookies. And I got away with it. What a dietary victory. 

When I came back from a project I was working on, standing in the
kitchen and looking at me with both hands on her hips, she said, "Do 
you know anything about the missing cookies in the cabinet?" 

"No," I said, "but I'll help you look for them." 

"No, you will not, but you will stay clear of all of those cookies." 

Then I shared one of my favorite verses of Scripture with her. “Give,
and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken 
together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with 
the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again” 
(Luke 6:38). 

Having a giving attitude is one of the most important aspects of the
Christian life.
