Ephesians 1:1-2 A Holy Nut

They were ordinary walnuts laying on the ground, until my Dad picked them up. He cracked them open, cleaned out the insides {probably enjoying the snack} then glued the two halves back together with a piper cleaner hook- attached to the end. A coat of gold paint later, and he presented them to the family as Christmas Tree ordainments. One of them has hung on my tree for decades and this year I gave my other special  "nut" to my son for his tree.

Paul calls Christians, "holy" in this opening of his letter to the Church. Holy means to be chosen or set apart for a special purpose. Just like my Dad's walnuts, we have been picked by God to proclaim his love and glory to the world... even if we still look a little nutty! Can you spot the "nut"? "Grace and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
