So, according to my rationality, when I pick “one” cookie I can eat as
many of them as I want to. I just can't eat the other one or I will be 
eating two cookies. 

I can't tell you how happy I was in coming to this wonderful conclusion.
I'm doing two things. I'm doing what my wife said to do and I am only 
eating one of the cookies. I love it when a plan comes together. 

Going to the kitchen I made up my mind that the “one” cookie will be the
peanut butter cookie. Oh, how I love her peanut butter cookies. 

Picking out five cookies I joyfully skipped back to my office to enjoy
these scrumptious treats. I earned these treats and therefore I'm going 
to eat them with a great deal of satisfaction. 

I had finished those cookies and was working at my desk when I heard the
front door open and expected it was The Gracious Mistress of the 
Parsonage. 

I then heard her voice, “Did you eat all these cookies? When I told you
to eat only one?” Now I have some “splainin” to do. 

A Bible verse came to mind that refreshed m concerning rewards. 2 John
1:8, “Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have 
wrought, but that we receive a full reward.” 

There are times when I convince myself that I deserve a certain reward.
All I need to do is twist certain words to my benefit thinking I 
deserve something when in fact I am not being honest.
