Today "Miss Anne Bailey" Zschau led us through a parable that likened creating a jack-o-lantern to God's way with us. Maybe next year we'll have a pumpkin carving worship service? Until then, you might enjoy reading the Facebook message sent to her by a friend which inspired her Children's Time.
We are like pumpkins!!!
Being a good person is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all of the yucky stuff -- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a bright new smiling face and puts His light inside of you for all the world to see.
