Christians and Pumpkins

I got an e-mail forward today that I'd like to share with everyone!

A woman was asked by a co-worker, "what is it like to be a Christian?". The woman 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, anger, harshness, greed, intolerance, impatience, selfishness, fear, pain, etc., and then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see and rejoice. A light containing the Fruits of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-control. (Galatians 5:22).

God bless;

Dear Lauren-Mary...I don't usally like getting forwards myself because they are so impersonal unless somebody puts a little note at the top, especially to the preson you are sending it to.

With your little message, this forward is something like getting it from you personally and I think it is a real good one!!
And it is so true!
Thank you for sharing it... Love Terry
