Savoring the Sweets

My wife, Kris, is well-known in our family and at my office for her delicious desserts. Over the years, several people have asked for her recipes and suggested she open a bakery. Living under the same condo roof with her can be a challenge when it comes to keeping my dessert intake to a minimum.
Yet, as I savored a piece of her latest batch of brownies tonight following a crazy night of coaching young Little League ballplayers, I thanked God for his gift of taste, as well as his gift to me of Kris. I try not to take either for granted, though I know I often fall short.
I pray that God will help me to better appreciate everything on this earth for as long as I walk it.
