The Parable of the Broken Cookie

---

Sometimes the best parables are born out of ordinary family life. This parable was written after a hectic family evening when a delicious cookie seemed to be lost! There was something life-giving in the joy that was uncovered in this moment when that which was lost was recovered. I capture that below in this homemade parable:

 The Kin-dom of Heavens is like a cookie

that fell on the ground

and got cracked and broken…

But when tears fell,

it was discovered that there was more cookie dough in the freezer

and random and unexpected delights around the house appeared

So it was that one cookie multiplied,

comforting all those around

with abundance and delight.
