A co-worker recently asked a lady what it was like to be a Christian.
She replied, "It's like being a pumpkin at Harvest: God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes off all the dirt you may have accumulated from being in the pumpkin patch."
She continued, "Then he cuts the top off and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc., then He carves you a new smiling
face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see!"
I personally will never look at a pumpkin during harvest the same way again!

old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
