Pumpkin Preaching

If you don't already know this about me then, well, you don't know me very well! But, I despise Halloween. I am not going to get into the why's and what have you; if you give my 5 year old a chance, he would LOVE to share our reasons with you ;) But, nonetheless, we don't celebrate it. So, needless to say we haven't gotten into the whole pumpkin thing. But, this year when we did thanksgiving we did talk about the harvest and we read a "pumpkin parable". But, the kids have been seeing the pumpkins in the grocery stores and I knew they would love to get one!! So, today I bought their first ever pumpkin :)

 
BUT...here is the lesson that went along with it...

 
Jesus opens us up, like we are opening our pumpkin. He takes out all the yucky stuff...all the sin. He cleans us out and makes us new!


He keeps the seeds that have been planted in our hearts so that they can grow...



 
And, when we have Jesus living in us, His light will shine through :)
