Little Gifts

As I was eating my matooke, beans and chicken at lunch today, I was suddenly overcome with the desire for yogurt-covered raisins. As the craving rushed over me, I pictured myself as a little girl at the grocery store with my mom, standing in the candy aisle. There in front of me is the bin filled with little white pebbles--yogurt-covered raisins! I look from them to my mom, who so sweetly says yes, you can have some. Bliss! As I continued eating my lunch I strategized ways to get my hands on this delicacy and decided it would be at least 2 months until I could have my parents bring me a few "white pebbles." Resigned to my fate of a full ten months without yogurt-covered raisins, I finished lunch and embarked on my afternoon.

But wouldn't you know it? God has a sense of humor. This afternoon we hosted some guests at the office who happened to bring some gifts from the States. As I peered into the cellophane package, my eye landed on none other than what I'd been craving--yogurt-covered raisins! Like my Grammy always says, "Good things come in small packages."
