PB&J

This is a ficticious story that My pastor shared this past weekend.

There are a group of construction workers sitting down to break for lunch.  One man opens his lunch pail and sighs...."Peanut Butter and Jelly...I don't really like Peanut butter and jelly"...

On Tuesday they sit down for lunch again and again the Man opens his lunch pail..."UGH Peanut Butter and Jelly..Man I HATE peanut butter and jelly"...geeesh!

On Wednesday...You guessed it...PB &J AGAIN!  He is NOT HAPPY and he lets everyone know it!  Three days IN A ROW..PB&J..COME ON!?!

So Thursday rolls around and the crew are hoping that this poor guys gets something in his lunch  other than a stinking PB&J...1, because they feel kinda bad for him..and 2, they are tired of hearing him complain!  BUT  yet again....PB&J on Thursday so the man storms of and doesnt eat his lunch!

The guys all chat about having some kind of "Intervention with this Guy the following day"...if he gets PB & J again!!

Friday afternoon when the man again opens his lunch pail and he has PB&J..for the FIFTH day IN A ROW...everyone pipes up before he can speak "Dude if you don't like PB&J..why don't you just ask your wife to make ya a tuna sandwich..or turkey or something?"

To wich the man responded "I Live alone..and I pack MY OWN lunch...thank you very much!"

HOW Often do we do that?!?  We are the ones who choose what we have each day..by our actions, our words, our thoughts.  But then when we open up our "Lunch box" we are surprised that its the SAME stinkin thing that we don't like!

IF you want something different...you have to change what you put in the lunchbox!! 

Thanks Pastor Buddy for delivering Gods word in a relevant way!
