THE HUSHPUPPY

"God is in the details, the completely unnecessary miracles sometimes tossed up as stars to guide us . . . . Look hard enough and you'll see them."  Barbara Kingsolver

I ordered barbeque, slaw, hold the puppies.  I love hushpuppies but was on a diet that week.  Eating them in moderation, for me, is out of the question. 

I waited quietly for my plate, determined to be satisfied with just barbeque and slaw, and reminding myself that I would be able to eat hushpuppies in the future.  Boy was I tickled when the waitress put my plate in front of me and there was one hushpuppy on it!  Who read my mind in that kitchen back there?

That hushpuppy was a delicious, guilt-free dessert!  Probably the best Christmas present of the season!
