They Get a Cookie!

Cookie Monster!
When I used to work at the gas station, vendors used to come in and bring us stuff to give to the customers as free samples. 
One day a new vendor brought in 20 giant cookies for us to give out to customers. I was told they didn't care how we gave them out, that it was up to me. So I came up with a plan. 

We had four employees working that day so each of us had 5 giant cookies to give away on our shifts. 
We had to give them to someone who did a good deed. That was it! Simple as that. 

Someone helped an old lady pump gas. 
He " got a cookie!"

Another person, brought in the money for a lady with kids in the car and pre-paid her gas for her, so she didn't have to worry about getting the kids out or leaving them alone. 
She "got a cookie!"

One kid helped another kid learn how to pump air into his bicycle tires. "Oh, it was nothing my dad showed me how and he seemed to need help." 
Yup, you got it! "He "got a cookie!"

The next day everybody was talking about how much brighter their day had been because we had all been looking for good things, Instead of being worn down by the bad. 

Suddenly, the employees started buying a cookie each day to give out to someone who lightened their day, as well as someone elses by performing a good deed. 

I used to love to hear the shout  
"Oh! They get a cookie!"

This past week the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerburg, with a little helpful suggestion by his fiancee, made a way for people to sign up for organ donation easier and faster on Facebook . To help save lives.  
Yes! "He Gets A Cookie!"

We have a daughter with kidney disease FSGS. She has had one transplant. It lasted 9 years. Now she is on dialysis again.  Awaiting the gift of a kidney.

And we have been blessed with so many kind and wonderful friends and family who support her and us. 
Sharing information, getting tested to see if they would be eligible to help her with a kidney donation. I have never had to ask. These people just step up and do what they can, the best that they can!

These are people truly deserving of a 
"giant cookie! " 

But in the meantime I hope my thanks, my love, and my eternal gratitude will suffice. 

Now where did I put my chocolate chips? I've got a lot of baking to do.....
