What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

The Rat

 


Oreos.

We don't buy them unless we have a fancy cheesecake to make- and then, only the generic kind.

But Grandma and Grandpa brought some over on Glupper night for a treat and I put the leftovers in the cookie tin.

Two days later, it's snack time. I say to Moses, who is making snack for all, "You may each have one of those Oreo cookies Grandma and Grandpa brought over."

A few minutes later...

"Uuuummmmmmm......  Mama.....  I think a RAT has been in our cookie tin because there are no more cookies LEFT!"  He brings the tin, wide open and cavernous, to prove his point.

A rat, indeed.  

(I suspect our rat may even have a name.)

Even with the missing cookies, we'd take that species of rat over the be-tailed kind any day of the week. (I know you would, too!) And good luck finding a cat big enough to catch him. ;)
