An Almost Eaten Rotten Apple - funny

Rotten Apples – I almost ate one

                                    

One day when doing laundry in a hurry, I almost grabbed a nibble from a small pile of chow mien noodles that were lying on the dryer.  Being in such a hurry, and not really being one to snack much, I passed them up and kept about my work, never thinking about them again.  A little time later, my son, Steve, then about three years old, came crying to me holding in his hand his little “pets.”  He said through tears, “Mommy, my pet worms all died!”

There in his little hand were the “chow mien noodles”    from the dryer.  He had collected them from the driveway after a rain the day before, and had placed them on the dryer for safe keeping.

I cannot describe to you my thoughts then.  I only remember relief that I didn’t snack while working!  This was a rotten apple not eaten.  Now it is sweet wine in my memories. God is good.
