The particular box I received today was an assortment of wrapped candies. This type of box is wonderful especially if you enjoy a little variety. Although the outside of every piece is smothered in chocolate, the inside is a mystery. Again, if you are not picky, an assorted box is right for you; however, my biggest fear is that one of those chocolates will be filled with coconut which, speaking of throwing up…. My kids also have a bad habit of biting into a piece and then realizing that they don’t like it so the second half goes uneaten, untouched, and unfinished.
Starting something without finishing is not a character trait which a person wants to establish in their life. Many individuals have projects hanging over their head at work, broken relationships which have not been restored, commitments yet to be fulfilled, un-reached goals, debts to be repaid, an education to be completed, or faith yet to be decided. Oftentimes we put things off until “tomorrow” knowing that there is really no passion to progress. We must be reminded of Solomon’s words to those who put off until tomorrow what should be done today: “Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom” (Ecclesiastes 9:10).
