It struck me today in the produce section, probably to the annoyance of my fellow produce purveyors, that the peach is a wonderfully beautiful fruit. The white peaches at the store have such a delicate blush, sometimes pink and sometimes yellow and sometimes something in between. And they're soft and sweet-smelling and therefore share attractive qualities with pleasant things like little babies and bouquets of roses.
So I was standing there -- with a pencil and my grocery list scribbled on a Sam's Club receipt sticking out of the kangaroo pocket of my sweatshirt, my cart blocking all traffic on one side of the fruit section -- thinking, how thoughtful and generous of God to give us such beautiful things!
Things like white peaches!
It all gives me a new appreciation (yea, unto empathy) for people who act funny in the grocery store. You never know . . .
