I began sorting our
"big box of crayons"
into color categories...
Blue/Green
Yellow/Orange
Red/Purple/Pink
Gray/Earth Toned
crayons of
-every shape and size
-some still new, others used
-some with paper, others bare
Many were...
broken, but useful
and when my son saw what I was doing,
he was eager to help,
so together
we began peeling the papers off of the
crayons and setting them to the side
He noted that some wrappers were
easy to remove, but others fought back!
Since my intention was to...
melt them for a purpose
I wanted them to blend together
So, the ones that...
refused to surrender
were tossed into the trash
I also soon discovered that not all were what they initially appeared to be
(some of the purple were not really purple, they were more blue)
The wrapper had been misleading...
causing us to sort it into the wrong pile
and also that once all of the wrappers were removed
it was much harder to distinguish
the dark blue
from the purple
from the black
They almost all looked the same without their "label"
but their true colors could be revealed..
by simply applying pressure
showing that life is like a box of crayons!
God using each of our differing...
lives
abilities
talents
styles
to color His world
as He daily...
sorts
peels
tests
melts
us
to make something new!
