Dream no small dream

In 1970, Wally Amos started baking chocolate chip cookies for his friends. He used a recipe and process pass down by his Aunt Della. For five years, he made cookies and gave away every batch – even though folks told him that his cookies were so good that he should sell them. But to Wally, the cookies were just a sideline. His major goal was to be a big time show business manager.

One day, a friend told Wally that she know someone who could put up the money for a cookie-making business. That comment sparked Wally’s thinking. He talked to some of his friends and convinced them to put up some money.

Originally, Wally intended to open only one store, on Sunset Boulevard, just enough of a business to make a living. But Wally’s enterprise grew faster and larger than he could have imagined. Soon, Wally’s “FAMOUS AMOS CHOCOLATE COOKIES” were being distributed worldwide. Wally became a spokesperson for other products, including a telephone company. He had once dreamed of managing celebrities. Now he is one.

Sometimes dreams come through the back door. So keep it unlocked. You never know how the cookie is going to crumble.

2 Chronicles 15:7 "But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."

Be Blessed and have a great weekend.
