Pumkin or Jack-O-Lantern
A lady had recently been baptized. One of her co-workers ask her waht it was like to be a Christian. She was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer. Then she looked up, saw a jack-o-lantern on her desk and answered:
"It's like being a pumkin." The co-worker asked her to explain that one.
"Well, God picks you from the patch and brings you in and washes off all the dirt on the outside you got from being around all the other pumkins. Then he cuts off the top and takes all the yucky stuff out from inside. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, anger, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all to see.
It is our choice to either stay outside and rot on the vine or come inside and be something new and bright.
