Matthew 7:2

Peanuts!

Consider how brave you would need to be if you were the first person to eat a peanut! A strangely shaped, bumpy little pod found in the dirt under a plant one day while you were out digging around. Brushing off the dirt, you open the pod, see two little brown nuts inside, open your mouth and pop them in!

Judging by their outward appearance, who would think that peanuts could be so many things? George Washington Carver discovered over a hundred different ways to use peanuts, and it all started with a bumpy little seedpod that someone took a chance on.

Sometimes people and situations are life that. You have to go beyond outward appearances and take a look inside. Given the opportunity, peanuts can be so much more than a bumpy rod. You cannont judge a peanut's value by its appearance, now can you? Anna Seden
