I’ve been cooking a lot more lately, and have been frustrated by my limited quantity of measuring spoons. Although we have several sets, it seemed that the one I needed was always dirty. So, I suggested to my husband that he give me a set as a stocking stuffer.
As I unwrapped gifts on Christmas morning, I opened one that was rather heavy for its small size. Inside I found this.
That’s right: he had given me FOUR sets of measuring spoons! That cracked everyone up.
There was another gift that I kept reaching for but my husband kept telling me to save it for last. Finally, I got to open it and what did I find?
You guessed it, another FOUR sets! We all had another good laugh.
Eventually, we starting unwrapping gifts from our stockings and I opened this.
And a little deeper down, this.
That’s right, I had TEN new sets of measuring spoons! Hubby definitely gets the award for most creative this year!
Later, I got to thinking about all the blessings those measuring spoons represent. Home, food, family, time, and health. I’m so thankful for all of these.
I hope you will also have many blessings in the coming year. A full measure.
And that you will recognize the blessings as just that. An over flowing measure.
Maybe you’ll find that you even need more measuring spoons.
Wishing you a wonderful new year over flowing with health and happiness.
