A Girl named Kent

A woman was asked by a coworker, "What is it like to be a Christian?" The coworker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin." God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

I got this as an email and liked it so much that I wanted to post it on my blog. Do you ever feel like you want a "do-over" or have God scoop out all the yucky stuff so you can start over? I do a lot. It's also nice to know that in all the hectic-ness and stuff that happens in life we can have a purpose other than dealing with all the daily junk that we have to deal with. I am glad I can try and be a smiling pumpkin!

Happy Halloween!
