Scribbles and Scrambles - Should I Be Disturbed?

A flyer arrived in the mail.

This is a VERY common occurrence.

What wasn't so common was one of the featured items.

I'm all for items that remind me of what I should be doing and what my priorities are and all that.

But my mind refuses to look at things on the black and white one-dimensional level of reality.

The item -- actually a series of items -- very small polished pieces of glass in a rainbow of colors. And on each "stone"was printed Gal 5:22-23 and one of the fruit of the Spirit...love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

This was my first thought. "Cool. Pretty glass."

My second thought. "Hmmm. So if I'm having a really bad day and am lacking in one of those areas, would one of these gems actually help?"

My third thought. "So. Like, if I was lacking patience with a person, I could whip the patience piece out of my pocket and fling it at them."

Then I laughed.

All by myself.

And now I'm telling you. HeeHeeHee.
