A woman was asked by a coworker, "What's it like to be a Christian?"
The coworker replied, "It's like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."
What a lovely thought. I really like that analogy!! You just put a smile on my face.
