For the gospel sake

We went to lunch w this lovely 100 year old lady . She cooked up potatoes, beans and stew. We ate then she brought fruit and ice cream . I Tried asking for no ice cream and she didn't take that . Really how about just a little? Just a little it's sugar free , you don't have to have much. Ok eat dessert w a tiny bit of ice cream . ... You know getting full . 
      Then  she asks do you want coffee? 
No thank you I said. What you don't want coffee? Well do you want tea? Sure I'll have some tea. Oh good I'll give you some of This coffee cake to go w it. We already had dessert we don't need that we are full . It's not that much it goes w the tea. It's a dessert appetizer . I want to keep feeding you so i get a longer visit . 
      We finish that round and she's putting the food away . You didn't eat enough there is still leftovers , you aren't very good eaters !  haha 😃
   We had some good laughs and amusements with her. She is a true gem and a joy to be w.  Filled our heart and our stomach.

Reminds me of the book, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"

reminds me of a story from Erling many years ago. when he went into the work there were two things he didn't like. Tea and Lemon Pie. He hadn't been in work long when they visited an older lady and sure enough the lunch was tea and lemon pie. And for the Gospel's sake he ate it. I think the ending of the story was he decided it wasn't so bad after all.
