God gave me Cookies

Comments

Well, not only is your sign unique - but having cookies left on your doorstep with a picture of Jesus would be a bit interesting. Do you have someone you can experiment on? Have them eat one to see what happens?
HAHAHA I would totally do something like that!

That is AWESOME.

P.S. Love the sign too.

hilarious!

and you should absolutely hire yourself a royal taste-tester. you know - just in case god is a prankster. :)

I am scared there is Kool-aid in them... hahah! I did not eat them. I do not trust God's cookies
Ha! I have now received 5 batches of cookies. This sign works for getting cookies.
Hahaha! I need a Royal Food Tester now!!!! Hahah!
This is hilarious, but than your sign made you an easy target. Those look homemade, what a temptation, are they chocolate chip? By the way if I lived near you I would have totally done that too! God knows your weakness! haha!
God used to bribe me to go to Sunday school when I was a kid. We got donuts if we made it all the way through class.

[this is scary]

I *love* that sign on your door.

[this is good]
If you want my opinion...that's the operative word, opinion...God doesn't need to sign his gifts. Consider, if God can do anything...why would He have to tell anyone. If God can create a beautiful flower, and nobody else can, why would He have to have a little sign on the lower leaves saying 'Made in Heaven' ? Just an opinion, of course... :-) Love your sign !

5 batches! Of cookies!

Maybe I should put a similar sign on my door. :D
Love the sign, would be careful with the cookies...
[this is good]

Just had another thought...find a little devil and see if the cookies work...no, wait...better idea...give 'em to a politician!

LOVE the sign.
if someone left it on the ground like that I would assume that bugs had gotten into it and a dog peed on it. better to be safe, than sorry that you know what dog pee and bugs taste like.
Hahaha! Thanks Patti. I was raised a Jehovah's Witness and know most that would knock on my door... awkward! I am a heathen and I am okay with that. I just don't think God should be discussed with strangers on my front doorstep. Hahah!
Oooh!!! Donuts! Now there is a temptation I probably could not say no to. Maybe I should change my sign to donuts instead of cookies.
Haha! Thanks Homebody. It works most of the time.
Hahah! Maybe I am God's favorite child and he is rewarding me with cookies? Hahah!
It works most of the time! hahah!
I threw the cookies away..... I could not eat them for fear of kool-aid or laxatives or bacterias from unwashed hands
Hahah! I don't know a politician!! darn!!
Hahah! Thanks! My jehovah witness family do not find the humor in it
it is true... I do not want to taste bugs and dog pee. They are probably infected with the swine flu, I threw them away
Change it to say MONEY and see what happens.
I agree with you about the doorknocking for God thing, I hate it too! I'm not a Jehovah's Witness but I have a nephew that is, he used to be all hard wired into his beliefs, we never saw him at Christmas and he wouldn't allow his mom who was Catholic celebrate his birthday, it was sad for her. He has lightened up though since. Those cookies still look tempting!

That's fantastic! (you have nice handwriting, btw)

thats one way of not selling god... but getting god in cookie form... those christians are getting smarter... lol...

Woah. That is just...miraculous.

That is amazing. I see God also gave you a Tonka truck. What a great way to set off the day.
:-O That is HILARIOUS.
...

Too bad their not brownies ;)

... wow. Thats great. I wonder if God likes "magic" cookies. ;)
I remember once long ago the church group I belonged to went on what they called a "reverse scavenger hunt". They paired off the dozen or so girls in our teen group and gave each pair a box containing about a dozen useful things. I specifically recall there being a lightbulb, an unaddressed stamped envelope and a car air-freshener. Our job was to give those things away to folks in the neighborhood and make note of their reactions. It was hard to do. Most people thought there was "a catch". There wasn't. We never even mentioned that we were involved in a church group. Some others thought it was a prank of some kind. One was going to call the police (though I don't know what the charges would have been).

I do, however, remember the little old man who took the light bulb. We knoked, he came to the door, we asked him if he would like a free light bulb. He said "Yes, I was about to read the paper and my bulb just went.". He never asked who we were or why we were there. He just happily accepted the gift.

Whether he thought it was karma or luck or God I'll never know, but I felt then (and still feel today) that in this world full of mistrust, it does us all good to be allowed to give and believe we have made somebody's day a little brighter.
It's probably someone you know, who will feel a little bad when they find out you didn't eat their cookies. You should see if you can figure it out.

Miss California could use a cookie or three...
OMGosh that cracked me up!!!

I love the sign!!!
I recognize the Jesus card. Who do you know who's Mormon? Or someone who knows someone? Either that or someone's having some fun with ya. I like it.
[this is good]

That is priceless.

Haha! I should!!! I could use money more than cookies...
I used to hate going door to door as a child. I always felt very intrusive. I stopped doing that at about age 16. I moved in with my father who is not a witness then. That religion is just not a good fit for me. It is for some though. I was not tempted by the cookies... I threw them away after I showed Mr. L and we had a good laugh.
These are not the first batch of cookies I have received..... haha!
Ask and Ye Shall Receive!! I have had such a sweet tooth lately!!! Hahah! (for the record I did not partake in God's cookies)
Haha! Actually Granny gave me the truck... I don't know why though... maybe God was working through her. Haha!
Hah! I thought you may think so, I am glad I shared
God knows I like chocolate chip cookies better than brownies... more temptation
Hahah! I am sure they are "magic".... Ha!
Thanks Spike, that was a fun experiment. So much learned!
The light bulb part was just perfection! I still do not trust those cookies.... haha!
I am sure it is not someone I know. My neighborhood is frequented by Mormons, maybe my neighborhood is thick with heathens. Ha! They have brought me cookies before. It is just funnier to say they are from God. ;-)
[this is good]
Haha! Maybe she left them!
Ha! Thanks LBeeeze! I am so glad to make people laugh... It makes me so happy
My neighborhood is frequented by young Mormons. I do not know any that live near me. The other side said something about nourishing my soul and mind with God... Ha! This is the second batch of cookies from the mormons. my soul cannot be bought with cookies, I am holding out for more.
Hahah! Awesome right?
Wow. God has never left me cookies, I'm jealous. The only thing I ever found on the doorstep was a bunch of daffodils, which was nice but would have been nicer if they'd been more regular....
It makes me happy when I make people laugh too. Cute and fun make life so much better.
Daffodils? That is nice! I am skeptical of those cookies, I threw them away.
Cute and fun make life livable!

It is such a small world. My husband sent me the link to this post this morning. He does not have a VOX account and does not know that you are in my 'hood. When I asked him where he got the link he said from Radley Balko's site. So I went and sure enough there was the link to this post. So, if you get a bunch of extra hits or comments today---now you'll know why.

I hope you enjoyed the cookies. I love your pictures and your stories, even if I don't comment as much as I used to. Work and life demands must be met before I can play on the 'net as much as I used to.

actually a friend of mine put a link on his blog, he is a famous in the blog world. That is where everyone else got their links, it was him. Ha! I went from 225 average page loads to 2,854 on wednesday, Ha! People really got a laugh out of this! You don't have to worry about getting too busy to read my rambles, I am honored when you give me a few minutes to just read. Thank you SO much!
sure is an answered prayer!

I (a non-believer) forwarded your blog post to my seriously-Christian mother-in-law, under the joking heading "The best way to soften up an atheist."

Today, there was a tin of delicious baked goods from her in my mailbox.

The Lord works in mysterious ways! ;-)
Hahaha!!! That is Awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing! Since I have had this sign up on my door (about two years) I have received cookies 5 times now. Ha! Two from God, one from a life insurance salesman, one from a floor cleaner, and one from a home improvement type of business.
I just want to emphasize the good work on this blog, has excellent views and a clear vision of what you are looking for.
