The Yodeling Pickle
This was a Christmas gift from my wonderful and hilarious sister. What can I say about this brilliant work of art?
I’m not sure I can access the deeper spiritual meaning of the electronic yodeling pickle. Instead, here are a few points for you to ponder today. I hope they enrich your life. 
1. First, you have to understand that on Christmas morning, of all the presents the family opened, our boys first and foremost gravitated towards this sonorous briny cucumber.
2. The boys have perfected the lip-sync of the electronic yodeling pickle. Classic.
3. In my more philosophical moments, my mind drifts to an unknown factory in China, where workers there are fabricating the electronic yodeling pickle for export to the U.S. What must they be thinking, as they complete their 10 hour shift on the assembly line of the electronic yodeling pickle? What images of our society are conjured in their minds, as they contemplate a people who demand such a product?

Hello Kurt! Wow! The electronic yodeling pickle does demand some sort of response! I am reminded that we should not lay up treasures on earth where they will be eaten by moths, rust or decay. Rather our treasures should be laid up in heaven where all these problems do not reside. So our treasures should be ones of eternal value that the world does not put much stock in but that which please God. Being kind, generous, loving, and eager to share the good news of Jesus are treasures that come to mind. I am challenged by the words I read in Scripture to have a heart of compassion for the poor, the widow, the orphan, the injured. I am convicted that I fall so short of this, but thankful that the Spirit of God gives me His strength, power and wisdom to reach out to those in need. Having gone through a process of eliminating material things (much like electronic yodeling pickles – yes they are fun!) to move to China in 10 suitcases, I am finding that is just as easy- if not easier due to low prices – to accumulate things here as it was in the US. Thank you Kurt for reminding me to have an eternal perspective!
