food for thought

• There's always going to be that one that defies the rules...today I had more than one...bought a SEEDLESS watermelon and found THREE seeds inside, made my meatloaf as I always do but it defied the usual not turning out just right and actually turned out AMAZING presentation especially, and then there were the straggler popcorn kernel balls that just decided they wanted to be who they were and didn’t feel the need to expand to any heights or widths or make any changes to themselves but to just be annoying hard little balls in the bottom of the bag…at least I didn’t choke on them! And this was not today, but I’ve never ordered a curly fry from Arby’s without getting one or two regular ones thrown in…honestly, I think they see their opportunity to hang with the cooler fries and right before the waitress goes to put the curlies onto the tray is when the regulars make their move and jump into the box…. ... perhaps we can learn a lesson from this all or maybe not..but what I see is ambitious fast food and maybe if we took that kind of thinking into our everyday world of school and job and at home we too could jump around into places that might not be where we are supposed to be but could be the very place that we need to be to be a blessing to someone. Because I know I'm blessed by those regular fries just as much as the curly ones and you gotta give em props for their endeavors!! and being a unique seedy seedless person can allot you more opportunities to plant seeds since you do indeed have them within you despite what your outer lable has placed upon you as seedless. Planting seeds is an amazing way for growth and showing others so many things and helping teach them along their path...and the popcorn balls, well, instead of being upset at those who aren't exactly what you like or what you wanted them to do, etc..you can be a unique seedy seedless person who does not get upset at the unpopped kernels and just let them be who they are and they can go out and roll around and maybe plant a popcorn tree somewhere that can grow!!let them be an individual and see how far they will rise! As for the meatloaf!!! It showed me especially that with persistence and working hard to make that perfect meatloaf it finally occurred and we can work hard to help others and have things occur for them via prayer and our strength that perhaps to them has always turned out just mediocre in life but we can be that meatloaf that SHINED and let them know to not give up but to keep going..and finish that race and it will be the best blessing for them ever..even better than the perfect meatloaf!!

Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
