I made cookies that turned out perfectly for the first time since moving to Utah 8 years ago!!! Thank you, thank you very much! I was so excited that they turned out so I decided to take some to our new neighbors(we just moved so everyone is a new neighbor) with Little Dude in tow (Emma was sleeping). We set out and knocked on the door. Our neighbor answered and then burst into tears when she saw the cookies, and then explained that she had been praying to know that someone love her and would show her kindness today. (Long story but they had a bad night and spent most of it in the ER with their son)So we talked for a few minutes and hugged and then (just like me) I remembered that I had another batch of cookies in the oven and I ran home with Dude. When I got home, Emma was awake, the cookies were burnt and I had an overwhelming realization that my prayers had been answered too. I pray every day that I can listen and follow the promptings of the spirit. Today it happened and I didnt even realize it. Emma took an unusual nap in the later afternoon which gave me TIME...I never have time to do anything that takes more than 15 minutes, but today I did. And seriously, I can't bake since moving to Utah, but today I had the urge, I followed a recipe and ta-da! amazing cookies. And then I left my house in my grubbies (not something I like to do)and just delivered cookies. And 2 prayers were answered with a plate of cookies...Heavenly Father knows us and loves us and uses us to take care of his children. What a great afternoon...
