Burnt toast and Curly Hair
My Dad insisted that he was born with straight black hair,
but always wished for curls.
As he tells it, his sister Blanch told him that if he really
wanted black curly hair that he must eat lots of burnt toast. My dad believed her, and each morning he
would burn his toast on purpose to a crisp and enjoy the flavor.
Some say this is a myth, but I wonder, because after many
months it began to work, for his black hair began to curl. All the days that I knew my dad he sported
black curly hair.
Dad may have told me that story in-order to get me to eat my
burnt toast, and I don’t mind toast that is a bit burnt, however my blond hair
never did turn black with curls.
Many of us are not satisfied with our hair, our shape, our
nose, our eyes, because we have this tendency to always want to be something
different than the way God made us.
Let me diverse here and apply this toward a spiritual
subject. Here is where we can be changed
into a New Creation, to never be the same again.
Isn’t it wonderful that you do not need to eat burnt toast
to become this new person? Simply invite
Jesus into your heart and he does the changing by his Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians
5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creature; the old things are passed away; behold, new things have
come.
