The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins

Victoria and Sam share all the cookies they have with friends who keep ringing the doorbell. Just when they are about to run out of cookies, they experience the best surprise of all.

How these stories are connected:  There is enough for everyone: enough cookies, enough of the Holy Spirit, enough love. This is encouragement to keep sharing.
