Pumpkins

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Catholic : One Thread

Just recieved this from a friend. What with Halloween around the corner, I thought everyone might enjoy it:

A lady was asked by a co-worker what it was like to be a Christian. She replied, "It's like being a pumpkin: God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off you may have gotten from the other pumpkins. 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.”

God bless, Ed

Hello, Edward

I topped this because I rembered it from last year. Thank you, and I am sure Kiwi will enjoy.

Thanks, again you rascal. Happy Halloween in a few weeks.

Ha David thanks, I think Ive gone through a mid life crisis at 27! Suddenly what party is happening on Friday night is not really doing it for me. Guess Ive just taken a bit longer than most people to grow up.

I still have so many doubts David- perhaps God is just filling a gap in my life as Ive usually been in a relationship and miss the intimacy? I also feel much of my interest is intellectual ie I love learning new things- and the history and rules of the church are fascinating. You probably notice I take more interest in the topical threads and contibute less to the spiritual based ones.However I did go the chapel again today so thats something eh.

God Bless

Kiwi,

Yes, that is something going to the Chapel. The more you chase God, the more He will let you catch Him. When you walk out of the Chapel, God puts a feeling in you that is very special. You know that you have done something that pleases Him.

May the Eucharistic Lord bless you, and your sick cousin, and your four siblings.
