Needing Mercy-I Have A Confession To Make...

[Ron]

I was asked by my wife to bake muffins last night & I chose Betty Crocker Devils Food Chocolate mix.

Well in making the mix up and pouring it into the bowl, and after all the muffin cups were filled I........... This is really hard to say......I ..... "LICKED THE BOWL!"

And I was not ashamed! I licked the bowl even though my wife said, "Honey, don't lick the bowl!"

Yes, I licked it even though my son said, "Daddy, why are you licking the bowl, mommy said no!"

Are there others on here who indeed lick the bowl as well?

BTW, The muffins were good too!:thebunny

Pray for me!:hypercoffee

[The Mrs]

I always end up eating more of the cookie dough than actual baked cookies.

But that's not really a confession as my hubby has never told me not to. :gaga

My wife also chides me for eating that as well!

Lord forgive me!

But it was soooo delicious!:thumbsup

[Ferd]

Sir, it is your WIFE who needs mercy not YOU!

Even scripture says that men and women have very different roles to fullfil.

licking the Bowl is a husbands duty. (something about payback for having to take out the trash)

Bro. Ron,

Kinda reminds me when we were children, and Momma would make a big pan of hot

cocoa on a cold morning. When poured the cup would overflow and some of the hot

cocoa would spill into the saucer. Because the cocoa in the saucer would get cold

faster, we would remove the cup and turn up the saucer and drink it first. Then replace

the cup and continue to drink from the cup. We did not want to waste even a little sip.

If we would be so careful not to waste even a "sip" of the good things (Spirit) of

God, it would do us well!

Blessings,

Thank you Sis Falla, it is a good story with good memories.
I have taken a poem from there to share here.
God Bless!


I'm drinking from my saucer,

'cause my cup has overflowed

I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now.

But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow.

As I go along life's way, I'm reaping better than I sowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer, 'cause my cup has overflowed.

I haven't got a lot of riches, and sometimes the going's tough,

But I've got loving ones all around me and that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies he's bestowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer, 'cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong, and my faith wore somewhat thin.

But all at once the dark clouds broke, and the sun peeped through again.

So Lord, help me not to gripe about the tough rows I have hoed.

I'm drinking from my saucer, 'cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage, when the way grows steep and rough,

I'll not ask for other blessings, I'm already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy to help others bear their load.

Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer, 'cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember doing that Sis Falla. :) Not many folks use saucers these days.

Bro Ron thanks for the smiles this am and the memories it brought to mind. :D

[Falla39]

Bro. Ron,

That poem has blessed me more than once! Another is "When I Whine"

When I Whine

~~~~~~~

Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair

I looked at her and sighed and wished I was as fair.

When suddenly she rose to leave,

I saw her hobble down the aisle.

She had one leg and used a crutch

But as she passed, she passed a smile.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine

I have 2 legs, the world is mine.

~~~

I stopped to buy some candy

The young man who sold it had such charm

I talked with him a while, he seemed so very glad

If I were late, it'd do no harm.

And as I left, he said to me,

"I thank you, you've been so kind.

It's nice to talk with folks like you.

You see," he said, "I'm blind."

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.

~~~

Later while walking down the street,

I saw a child with eyes of blue

He stood and watched the others play

He did not know what to do.

I stopped a moment and then I said,

"Why don't you join the others, dear?"

He looked ahead without a word.

And then I knew, he couldn't hear.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

~~~

With feet to take me where I'd go.

With eyes to see the sunset's glow.

With ears to hear what I would know.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I've been blessed indeed, The world is mine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[OneAccord]

I, too, will confess.

Hi, my name is OneAccord, and I am a bowl licker.

And a licker of spoons.

And a mixer thingy licker.

I have been known to lick plates.

There. Its out there for all the world to see. Bowl Lickers, UNITE!

Sister Falla, you have moved me to ancient memories... if a 38 year old can have such.

My grandfather died in 1976. He was 80.

Papa Green was a rapscallian for most of his years. He did finally recieve the Holy Ghost in 1966.

I have been told he only went on a couple of "easter egg hunts" after that.

I was born in 1969 and by then he was too old and sick to be much of a bad fellow.... I remember going to Three Flags Resturant in Bon Weir Tx. which he and my grandmother Maw Green owned.

Some of my earliest memories are of going over to Bon Wier and seeing Papa sitting at the counter drinking coffee. I would go and sit with him, and he would look to make sure no one was looking, then he would pour a sip into the saucer for me to drink!

As bad as Lou Green may have been, he was a kindly old man who snuck me a sip or two of his coffee on occasion.

Thanks for jaring my memory.

My Grandparents did the same thing!
That and the smell of fresh baking from Grandma!

[Cindy]

My grandmother use to make me a cup of milk with a spoonful of coffe in it. She also over filled the cups and so we could sip from the saucer first. Great memories Bro. Ron, thanks. And btw what happened to your Avatar? I miss y'alls smiling faces.

[OneAccord]

I don't feel so *gulp* guilty anymore!

I do also lick the mixing spoons as well!:hypercoffee

Ahhh, confession is good for the soul, ain't it? (unless you lick bowls clean and put them into the cabinet without washing them first!)

Which reminds me....

My oldest brother had a "certain plate" he always ate out of. Well, he made me mad about something one time and it was my turn to wash dishes. (Bad time to make me mad). So, I took his "plate" and set it in the floor and let our dog lick it clean. Then, I promptly put his nice clean plate into the cabinet so he could use it the next day. Ahhh, whats a few dog germs between brothers!

Thanks, Ron love the poem, did you write it?

BTW, Falla's and my Mom was the greatest hot cocoa maker in the world. Practice made perfect, and she had lotsa practice. I loved to get the cup where she had mixed the cocoa, sugar and a little milk, before pouring into the steaming pot of milk, tasted like liquid fudge. :bliss

[crakjak]

Sir, it is your WIFE who needs mercy not YOU!

Amen, ignore the rebuke and lick the bowl!!!

[Sam]

Amen! I remember my Grandma putting Tea into the saucer (weak tea) & we kids used to drink it.

We must of looked like Cats!

Or, you can use a bowl instead of a saucer.
Pour a little of the hot coffee, tea, or whatever into the bowl and it will cool more quickly. Then, just drink it from the bowl. Before it is empty, add more hot drink to the bowl and it will cool faster.

That is sick!!!

You know what my husband does? When I make pancakes he calls his "sunny side up". He cooks one side and turns it over for a little bit. It's gooey inside!!! Then he puts butter and syrup and makes it more gooey.

I refuse to cook them. He has to do it. Yuck!!!!

LOL!
