ReplyDeleteWhat Kind of Apple Are You? By Barbara Mudge
ReplyDelete(from chapter six)
“Everyone likes apples don’t they? Whatever kind of apple you are, I can promise you this, not everyone is going to like you all the time. Some people will never like you.
Personally, I don’t like some apples. Some are too sour. Some are too hard. Some are too soft. Just as each apple has its qualities, each of you is also unique and has a special purpose and special qualities within.
“In a time of financial need, I baked and sold homemade apple pies. I used only Macintosh apples for baking these pies. No other apple would do for me. The Macintosh had qualities I needed for that specific purpose. I made and sold three hundred pies in a three-month period. Not to brag, but I can peel an apple in about thirty seconds without looking. Sometimes I could peel it in one long strip.
“When I was young, I thought that I could get everyone to like me. I believed that somehow or some way it had to be possible. Unfortunately it was mission impossible. …”
Thank you so much, Michelle. You and your family are so special and inspiring to us too.
