Peanut butter sandwich

Last Sunday in Oxygen, Ps. Sidney told us this joke.

There are two kiddos sitting together having their lunch.
Both of them bring their own lunch from home.

Day 1, one of the kids opens his lunch box, and yells, “Oh no! Peanut butter sandwich!”

Day 2, it happens again, the kid opens his lunch box, and yells, “No way! Peanut butter sandwich again??”

Day 3, he does the same thing, opens his lunch box, and yells, “Oh I don’t like peanut butter sandwich!”

The other kid can’t stand him anymore. Then he asks, “Hey, if you really don’t like peanut butter sandwich, and you don’t want to have it for your lunch, why don’t you tell your mom, or whoever it is, who packs your lunch for not making you another peanut butter sandwich again. Ask for something else!”

And this is the response of the peanut-butter-sandwich-kid: “Hey dude, I pack my own lunch everyday!”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Almost everyone in Oxygen laughed.
I was the one who laughed so loud.
This is what crossed my mind, “How stupid that boy is! He packs his own lunch everyday, and yet he complains!”
Do you laugh when you read that story?
Most people might have the same thought as I have. “How stupid that boy is!”
But, isn’t that what we all do everyday??
We pack our own “lunch”, and yet we complain!
We do the wrong things, deep in our heart we know that it is wrong, but we just keep doing it. And then one day, when we see the result, we complain.
We ask God, “why this is happening to me? I don’t like this situation! I don’t wanna be at this position. I don’t wanna end up here?”
Let me ask you this question, “who packed your own lunch?”
Was it your parents? Your friends? No, it’s you, your decision.
So, don’t complain. If you don’t want to have peanut butter sandwich as your lunch, then don’t make it, make something else, make something better.
Think twice before you pack your own lunch.
You don’t want to see someone staring at you, laughing at you, and wondering how you could be that stupid.
