PUMPKINS

This is another little saying that I gave to each of the missionaries and camp leadership. I had the story copied on goldenrod yellow paper and cut it the size of a snack sized baggie. Inside each baggie I put the story and four little candy pumpkins. We had received the original via email and I decided to pass it along.

PUMPKINS

A woman was asked by a co-worker, "What is it like to be a Christian?"

The woman replied, "It's like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Even if you're not the perfect shape or the best looking, He loves you just the same. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. After that, He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

We liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in our patch. May His light always shine forth from you.
