THE POWER OF A FLOWER POWER COOKIE!
Each Flower Power Cookie purchased at Kayla Wenzek’s bakery The Flying Apron and then given away to random passengers on The Flowerman’s 🌻Love Bus has a story in its own right.
This is just one. One of many incredible stories.
The Flowerman’s🌻first stop of his shift after purchasing a full brown paper bag of FLOWER POWER COOKIES was at a local High School. Knowing as usual, throngs of youth would be clamouring to board. Wanting desperately to hand out a cookie or two to the waiting youth but wondering how to do so fairly. Not wanting to disappoint all the others that didn’t get a delicious FLOWER POWER COOKIE.
Approaching the High School parking lot a lightning bolt went off in The Flowerman’s 🌻mind.
He would conduct a straw poll (an unofficial ballot conducted as a test of opinion) to determine fairly who would get a
FLOWER POWER COOKIE.
He didn’t want to know who the best athlete was, he didn’t want to know who had the highest marks, that’s on every report card. He wanted to know what was in their hearts and minds. WHAT MAKES THEM TICK!
With The Love Bus shut down and secured The Flowerman 🌻opens the front service bay doors and steps onto the doorway above the crowd.
Hmmmmm. Quiet please!
The Flowerman 🌻has a bunch of FLOWER POWER COOKIES in this brown paper bag he just purchased from a local bakery but he doesn’t have enough for everyone. With a question, depending on your vote one FLOWER POWER COOKIE will be handed out.
Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! (“Hear ye, hear ye!”. Most commonly used by town criers)
“Who here among you always lifts people up rather than tears them down? Who here among you always acts out of kindness first? Who here among you is courageous? Who here among you has a good heart?” As these are all the qualities of a person that The Flowerman 🌻values the most.
So many hands pointed in a couple of directions. Seeing that one young man’s hands that pointed to himself. The Flowerman 🌻tells him “you can’t nominate yourself.” (Lol) When his “hands that pointed to himself” sadly went down, so many other hands changed position and pointed directly at HIM!
DONE!
The straw poll was over. This fine young man accepted the FLOWER POWER COOKIE with gratitude.
The Flowerman 🌻said to himself “you young man are on The Flowerman’s 🌻team. You just got FIRST PICK!”
Stay tuned!
