Cookies and Tomatoes
Too many people treat love like they treat cookies. If they have ten cookies, and ten people they can give it to, they will only give it to a few people. They need some cookes for themselves, and then only their close friends can have the leftovers. In the same way, some people feel that they only have enough love for themselves and their closest friends. What they do not realize is that God made love to be more like tomatoes. My dad grows tomatoes and it seems that no matter how much we give them away we're always stuck with more than we need. We give them to friends, family.. even our neighbors whom we never talk to. And yet, we still have too many! Love is the same way. The more you give it away, the more you find you have. God made love to be shared, not hoarded and only given to those we deem worthy. Love is meant to give to everyone, and as you give it away, you'll be surprised by what a difference it makes in your life and the lives of others.

hahaha.. Sam. When you said tommy-toes, I immediately thought of tommy.. as in my brother. It took a while to realize what you really meant.
