Great Pumpkin Analogy

It feels like Fall here in Tucson. Our low this morning was 39 degrees. We broke a record. Of course, my children got up and still threw on shorts. I had to tell them to put on warmer clothes!

Anyway, I had been thinking of my memories of pumpkins and fall harvest. Then, Hermana Jenny Boshard, one of my young women from Provo who is currently serving a mission in Spain, sent me the following analogy. I thought you would enjoy it!


¨Being a CHRISTIAN is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff ... including seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then he carves you a new smiling face and puts HIS light inside you for the whole world to see.¨

Matthew 5 :16
Let you light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.

Happy Fall!
