Wisdom-Trek / Creating a LegacyWelcome to Day 1387 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomA Cake Dilemma – Humor UnpluggedWisdom -...
show moreA Cake DilemmaWith many of us sheltering in place, we have rediscovered our love for cooking and especially baking sweet treats. The temptation to eat all of these treats has also been a challenge for many. Because of this, a group of friends decided to start a weekly zoom based diet club to help keep each other accountable.
On their weekly call on Monday, the members of the diet club were chatting and encouraging one another to stay the course. When it came time for Margaret to share, she was lamenting, “I gained five pounds since last week. I made the family’s favorite cake over the weekend, and they’d loved it so much that they had eaten half of it after dinner on Saturday.” “Of course, they all raved about it and said they were looking forward to eating the remainder the next day.”
Margaret went on. “Well, the next day I kept staring at the other half until finally, I cut just a thin slice for myself. You know how it is, one slice led to another, and soon the remaining half of the cake was gone.” “I am just so frustrated with my lack of willpower, I knew that John would be as disappointed as I am.”
The other members of the group all commiserated with her, expressing their empathy until finally, Julie asked, “what did John say when he found out?” Margaret smiled and blushingly said, “He never found out. I made another cake and ate half of it!”I hope that brought a smile to your face today. If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a kind smile each day. Our Thursday thought is, “Oh, you want your cake and eat it too? You bet! What good is a cake if you can’t eat it?”
Here is our verse for today:
(https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+15:20&version=NLT)
Present a cake from the first of the flour you grind, and set it aside as a sacred offering, as you do with the first grain from the threshing floor.
Just as you enjoy these nuggets of humor, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’ If you would like to listen to any of our past 1386 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are all available at Wisdom-Trek.com.
