Ok. There is a story here, and I’m afraid I’m going to tell it. I’m not wordless today. I’ve been locked out of my server for 3 days, so I’ve been saving it up. 
While eating lunch a few days ago in the cafeteria at work, a former student came in for a visit. (She homeschools now.) I haven’t seen her for a very long time, and she has grown into a lovely 16-year-old. My husband and I used to eat lunch with her every day when I was principal of the school. She sort of adopted us, preferring to be with us instead of with the other kids. Several times a week she gave me beautiful gifts of angels drawn on notebook paper. I still have many of them.
It was great to see her. She had matured and was light years beyond where we last saw her.
“I have something for you.” She reached into a bag and pulled out a huge bag of cookies. “I made them and decorated them this morning.” They were gorgeous! Planning to take just one, she said, “No. They are all yours.” She handed me a bag that had my name written on the outside. Wow! That’s a lot of cookies for 2 people. Then she pulled out another bag that had DH’s name on it. Mama mia! That’s a TON of cookies!
What an honor that she would go to all that trouble for us! Every cookie was a different shape and was uniquely hand-decorated. They were very thick; most were 4″ to 6″ wide. Were they yummy? YOU BET! However, I could not bring myself to eat the Jesus cookie. How do you eat a Jesus cookie? I just couldn’t. The second cookie is her signature angel. She is so creative!

Addendum: Sorry everybody; I didn’t realize I had uploaded the HUGE photo of the Jesus cookie. I use Firefox and forgot to check my post in Internet Explorer; it was a mess but is fixed now. So sorry!
Wonderful story. Happy WW!
Those are awesome cookies. I don’t think I could have eaten the Jesus cookie either. Thank you for sharing and stopping by yesterday for WW…
Be blessed today and always.
Wow! You must have been really special to her. That’s a neat story.

that is a beautiful story. Love the Jesus cookie too.
What a beautiful story you shared. I am thankful for adults God placed in my life as a child, who shared their light and love with me. I know this young lady is blessed to have had you in her life as well. What a sweet token of appreciation she shared with you and your husband. Blessings to you this week!
How neat. What a nice surprise that must have been for you
Happy WW!
