Some Truth to Share!

Still waaaaaaaaaaaayyy behind on posts…but wanted to share this before Halloween this week. If you’d like, please by all means copy this, make it your own and share it with your own neighbors and friends! And if you happen to be in our neck of the wood…please stop by, rumor has it that the nuggets picked out some super tasty…super sweet and possibly FULL-SIZE candy Smile…yep, that’s right!

My idea behind the poem came from the Pumpkin Patch Parable by, Liz Curtis Higgs and My Happy Pumpkin: God’s Love Shinning Through Me by, Crystal Bowman. Both are fantastic nugget-friendly books that encourage truth!

Our hearts are like pumpkins, they might not be orange and round…

But there are many similar traits that can easily be found.

See the outside of a pumpkin looks real nice and smooth as can be…

But inside there is lots of pulp and slime that’s pretty gross and icky!

The icky-ness is how our hearts look as they reveal our need for grace…

When we accept Jesus’ gift of love, our hearts become a clean place.

And once they’re cleaned they are able to shine, to glow and share bright light…

And that bright light is what spurs others on to shine, even in the dark of night!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;

the old has gone, the new has come!”

2 Corinthians 5:17

May your hearts be blessed!
