From one pumpkin to another!!!!!!! A woman was asked by a coworker, "What is it like to be a Christian?" The coworker 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, hate, and greed.  Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."   This was passed on to me by another pumpkin.  Now it's your turn to pass it to other pumpkins. I liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch. I am so glad to be in HIS pumpkin collection!!!   For God so loved the the world that He gave His only begotten son, That whosoever believeth in Him should not perrish, but have everlasting life.   There is none righteous no not one.     For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.   God made Him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God.   Not by works of righteousness which we have done; but according to His mercy He hath saved us, it is the GIFT of God not of works lest any man should boast.
