It’s the holidays and there’s no better time to enjoy some of our favorite eats.  Case in point, Jason and I took the boys to Snooze a couple of days ago.  If you live in Denver and haven’t experienced Snooze, I beg you to go there.  Delish!  And if you don’t live here, put it on your to-do list when you visit Denver!So, Jason and I are wrapping up our meal.  Think breakfast tacos, breakfast burrito, and pineapple upside down pancakes.We get the check.  I glance over it quickly and realize that the waitress didn’t charge us for both of our pancakes, just one.But I don’t say anything and Jason proceeds to pay.And I’m sitting there feeling like I’ve stolen a pancake!  I feel a certain amount of guilt.  I’m debating it all in my head:  “she should have charged us for both, it’s her fault!” to “the right thing to do is pay for the poor cake!”  (I know this is silly, but I also know I’m not the only one out there that has been in this predicament…)A bit later, Jason asks if I’m ready to go…and I can’t stand it.  I tell him I’m feeling guilty.  He looks at me with concern.  I proceed to explain to him the situation.We agree to alert our waitress.After explained that we owe her $8 for the other pancake (and yes, they are SO worth it!  Think carmelized pineapples, vanilla crème anglaise, and cinnamon butter.), she looks at the ticket and proceeds to tell us that she actually charged us for both, it was just difficult to tell on the ticket.  (I could explain, but just trust me on this one…).With sincerity, she says thank you for being so honest and tells us good-bye.And as she walks away, I realize that I would have felt guilty for days over the stolen cake if we hadn’t said anything.I know, it’s just a silly pancake…but I walked out of the restaurant and couldn’t help but to think:  There is FREEDOM in always telling the truth.  When we tell the truth, sure, we let go of the outcome…but what we gain in return is well worth it.  We bring it into the light where the devil can’t get a foothold.  And simply being obedient to what God is asking us to do allows us to walk in this real freedom.  And the truth is:   Being obedient with the little things…it’s just as important!So what about you?  Is there a time recently where you felt you should tell the truth?  And did you?  If not, would you consider making it right and going back and telling the truth?
