Today we were at Target buying crayons to re-stock the classrooms at church. I love crayons! They make me happy and remind me of childhood and times of peace.
I was wondering what your thoughts are on crayons. If you could be any color in a box of crayons, what color would you be and why?
And are you sharpened? Are you being used everyday? Are you allowing yourself to be sharpened by others or the environment and blessing around you?
I would like to be something bright and sharpened, but still be used every day.
Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's okay though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation. So when I meet someone who's an 8-color box type, I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing... and I'm like, "no! I want magenta!!"
