"Damaged Goods"

While grocery shopping one day, I suddenly decided in the middle of my task, that I wanted some canned peaches. I usually do not add additional items to my already complete list, but that day I just had to have them. I made my way to the canned food aisle and to the peaches, and began loading several cans into my cart. Once I got to the register to checkout, I noticed a couple of my cans had dents in them. Now although I am sure there was nothing wrong with the product inside, I just could not rest knowing my cans were damaged. Since I was alone in the store and to avoid causing a hold-up at the register, I politely excused myself from the already very long line, and returned to the canned food aisle.

Once I arrived, I began to check each can I grabbed to make sure they were not damaged. I wanted to make sure I got only the good ones. I am so grateful God does not pass over those of us who are damaged goods in pursuit of only the good ones. Thank you, Jesus for giving your life so that I may be forgiven and once again become one of the “Good Ones”!
