There she is.......Miss Amer-dessert

Ahhhh yes......this must be one of the best topics I have gotten yet!! To list my 4 top favorite desserts!! What a fatabulous thing!! so tonight we'll meet our contestants competing for that title we all hold dear, to be crowned Miss Ameri-dessert!

Ladies & Gentlemen, our first contestant, Miss Pecan Pie!! She's a real bronzed beauty! She's rather tough on the outside, getting that tanned exterior from hot summer days in Georgia! That's right, but don't let that fool you--- she's as sweet as sugar on the inside. She's very popular at social or family holiday gatherings, never disappointing her peers. Miss Pecan knows that a job worth doing is worth doing right, that's why she is sponsored by Karo. She's dependable, and highly valued for having that perfect balance that you need when having a late night cup of coffee. Knowing when to be serious and when to relax is a noble quality we all appreciate. For the younger generation, she often times is misunderstood, all she needs is a chance folks! Many young children with solid God-fearing parents introduce Miss Pecan early, to get a head start on all goodness that she brings. So.... Let's give it up for Miss Pecan Pie!!

Next we have the dark and luscious Miss Chocolate Pie!! She's so lovely, sporting her toasted Meringue jacket over her silky-smooth Chocolate brown evening gown, by designer, Nanny Ruby. Miss Coco has proven herself, and gives to the community whenever she's needed. She is always making appearances at Sunday lunches, church gatherings, holiday parties, and girls nights all across America. With this demanding schedule she manages to fit in the less fortunate, that suffer from severe stress. Lending her ear and hugging these late night sufferers in regular old fashioned kitchens after hours, we've been told as late as midnight some nights. When not answering the call, she enjoys lounging around with her close friends and relaxing no matter what time of day. Miss Coco's heart really is the edification of others thru intense chocolatte communication. Thank you Miss Coco for your contribution!!

Stepping on up is Miss Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. Miss C, as she prefers to be called, is a petite little gal, with lots to offer. Loyal to her calling, for snacks, birthday parties, teacher gifts, and any day ending with 'y." With a mixture of cocoa, oats and a tad of peanut butter, don't be deceived, she's not holla back girl. Taken for granted by so many, they see her rather average beauty and think she isn't all that special. But we bid the question, have you ever turned her down? Her perfectly blended personality draws in even the chiefest of Dieters. So many events, so little of her to go around. They say it's lonely at the top, and it must be. Seems we always seem just one of her around the food table. The fast paced life of social events would get next to anyone. Regardless her family is highly protective of her. Mr Soup Pot, her wide-bellied father, has a good instinct about those trying to take advantage of Miss C and her giving heart. If he one times senses you aren't up on your game, you won't be taking Miss C anywhere. Great trust in her father proves true, because anyone who has been deemed unworthy will quickly watch her run away upon leaving Mr Soup Pot's presence. I've seen it a hundred times. That's what we love about her though, she's dedicated, such a scarce characteristic these days! Let's thank Miss C for her time...............

Last but certainly not least we have our final contestant, Miss Vanilla Ice Cream!! Wearing many hats, Hot Fudge, Colorful Sprinkles, M&M's, crushed Oreos, Peanuts, Whipped Cream and Fruit, on occasion. Miss Nell has been a true crowd pleaser from the get go. Her fan base extends down children as young a one year, extending to Senior Citizens. From her duo act with her beloved friend, Cake, to her stationary role in a Waffle Cone or even the spoonfuls that are sneaked in the middle of the night, Miss Nell knows how to have fun! Seasonal scheduling forces her to have a somewhat limited presence in the spring and summer months, still she is always looking for how she can be more versatile. Surprising fans after a job well done, or her terrific Swim routine in Coca Cola classic & Root Beer! That is what she's the best at, connecting with people. You can't get any friendlier than Miss Nell.

So now as the ladies step back up, let's give them one last round of applause for their incredible contributions to their local and international communities. Alright as we await the decision, let me also add that, upon winning all runners up will receive a scholarship to the Grocery Store of their choice. Drum roll please.................well I don't believe it.........this is unheard of and the first time in the history of this contest............. well Miss Pecan, Miss Coco, Miss C & Miss Nell, it's my pleasure to tell you that you are all going to be crowned Miss Ameri-dessert!! All of the Taste Judges agree that you are all outstanding citizens and worth of the crown. May you enjoy your new position, remembering that you beat out other worthy competitors, we expect great things from you!! Congratulations!!!

Why Do You Love Me?

Why do you love me? I ask you again.
“Because you're mine, I’ve loved you since before the world began”
“I think your wonderful. You are just the way I wanted you to be.
I know that you are not perfect, but I love you, can’t you see?

I know all your hidden feelings, joys, heartaches and sorrows,
I am Your Saviour and your King, I will help you face all your tomorrows,
So much I want you to do, to perfect My Will,
Sometimes you get impatient and I just need you to be still.

You haven’t always came to me with actions that you would take,
I was forced to change my plans for you, my heart surely did break.
There are people out among you, that I love so very much too,
I needed you to tell them about me, I want them in heaven, along with you.

So many people who would have crossed in your way,
I had to send someone else to share with them, that their debt did I also pay.
I’m sorry to say, some of them died, and I forever lost my children, my friends,
I loved all of them, I always will, But they are forever tormented, and it will never end.

I forgive you, when you’ve strayed, for I know you are sometimes weak,
I will always wipe each tear from your cheek,
Even when your actions have caused you to suffer much pain,
I AM your Redeemer, I am your sunshine after the rain.

I looked down thru time, and smiled because I saw you,
I knew you could never make it to me, I knew what I had to do.
I sent my only Son, he lived on earth, underneath the same blue sky,
My perfect Son was all I could accept for payment, so He had to die.

When you accepted Him, all of heaven did greatly rejoice
To see you take Jesus as your Saviour uttering your prayer in a small voice.
I now am your Potter, and you are my clay,
You may break, or change form, but trust in me, you will be new each day.

Ask it of me, and I will throw your faults as far as the east is from the west,
Try harder this time, after all I have done for you, don’t I deserve your best?
I love you for always, can’t you see?
I will make you over, if you will abide in me.

I know you will mess up again, and that is okay,
I will always be here for you whether its night or day.
Leave all your mistakes and worries here with me,
I will trade your burdens for my peace, you will see,

So if you wonder if I love you.
Hold fast to this because it’s forever true,
I am your God, and thru Jesus, my love I did send,
My love is unconditional, it will never know an end
.
