Gingerbread Men

Let's talk about gingerbread men.

I baked some of these cute creatures on Thursday with my girls. It was the high point of my week. 

You see, as much as baking was a new experience to me, it also was for my girls. As much as I felt thrilled at being able to try something for the first time, so did they. And I told them repeatedly that I also did not know what to do.

Well, I definitely can't bake, but I can read instructions and follow them. Thank God for cookie pre-mixes.  Thank God for gifted bakers who decide to bless the not-so-gifted by providing pre-mixes and simple instructions.

We all have got to face our weaknesses head-on and by overcoming them, we convince ourselves that there is indeed more inside us than we know of, and we are not that bad.

As trivial as it seems, I know God is walking this journey of baking and cooking with me.  It all started when He provided me with the oven, which my mother-in-law passed to me.

So, cheers to having the courage to keep doing something we are bad at!
