My folks sent this to me in an e-mail, I really liked it. My only gripe about it is, you don’t have to be a so-called “Christian” – God loves you for who you are, not for what your religious persuasion might be…

Being a Christian 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 the yucky stuff–including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.

Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.

….still, in a world of hard ground and hard knocks it’s nice to know there are others like you occupying the same patch!
