GOD BAKES COOKIES?

Last Christmas season was quite different from past years. I enjoyed time with the Christmas kettle and packing and delivering hampers, and Christmas hampers were quite new to me. I could see how the Salvation Army works in local community.
For this Christmas, I had a special experience. It was about baking cookies. I baked Christmas cookies for two days during the winter assignment with my fellow cadets and together we delivered 150 bags of cookies to new neighbors near the Corps. It was first time that I ever baked cookies in my lifetime. I never thought to bake cookies as ministry before simply because I didn’t know how to bake. When I heard the plan to bake cookies I was a little worried, but during the baking I enjoyed myself so much, and realized that it is not so hard to do it.
Sometimes I feel such a heavy burden on my shoulder for my future ministry, but God does not want me tobe burdened about future ministry. He wants me enjoy to see how He works through me. I learned this Christmas that loving God and loving neighbours is not so hard. It is like baking cookies, I need to show interest for God and neighbors, and I need little more attention so I don’t burn cookies. For winter assignment God eased a burden from my shoulders while teaching me to bake cookies.
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
