The good stuff is on the inside

According to National Day Calendar, today is National Oreo Cookie Day. I like Oreo cookies. A LOT. I don't know the history of Oreo cookies but I have made history of quite a few of them. To me, much like the Reese's Cup, the Oreo cookie is the perfect combination of cookie and cream.

Some people like their Oreos with milk. Some like to take the cookie apart and eat the inside first. Some will eat the cream out of the middle and toss the cookie, or so I hear. I just like to eat them as they are. I really don't care what I drink with them either, milk, water, cola, it's all good. Oreo cookies are a good reminder for all of us about all of us...

In honor of National Oreo Cookie Day, our word for the day is: "People are like Oreos. The good stuff is on the inside."

We often have a tendency to judge "a book by its cover". We can look at someone and immediately, in our mind, know exactly who that person is and what they do and what they stand for and how they treat their Momma. But, the truth is, the outward appearance doesn't always tell us what the true person is; the true person is what is on the inside.

We've discussed before that there are a lot of physically attractive people outwardly that are anything but attractive internally, and vice versa. There are lots of people who appear to be one thing on the surface but when you dig a little deeper, you find the goodness that is within. Of course, the goodness is from GOD.

So, in honor of the Oreo, let's take time to day to see if we can uncover the goodness in others. Then, for dessert tonight, or for a little snack while watching television, or for a little bedtime nibble, have a couple of Oreos; the good stuff is on the inside.

Be Blessed,
