Hey Everyone,
As I was driving home from a very long week, I decided my comfort food of choice was going to be a box of raisin bran (I know... I totally live on the edge... all that bran!!
) And it wasn't going to be just ANY kind of raisin bran cereal, but rather... the kind with the raisins so heavily coated in sugar that they actually grit between your teeth... mmm, yummy!!!
I was really excited to see a box on the shelf (I hadn't had it in a while so I wasn't familiar with all the varieties) that boasted, "EXTRA Raisins!!" Woo hoo!!! I was practically humming to myself as I got home and poured myself a BIG bowl... (Hey, I get excited about food.)
However, to my dismay... there were only about THREE raisins among the entire amount I'd poured. What the hee haw??? Three raisins from a box of "extra raisin" raisin bran??? Seriously, I wanted a refund!! (I probably shouldn't joke about this, seeing as I've worked in many stores where people actually did demand refunds for these kinds of things.)
What things in life have been your own "I Want a Refund" moments? Maybe it was something you were really excited about (a game, book, movie, show, event?) that didn't meet up to all the hype? Maybe it was time or money you'd invested into something or someone that wound up being a huge disappointment? (I know someone out there is going to say, "Seoul, I want a refund on any time I've spent reading your threads!!" And that's ok. ) This thread is meant to be light-hearted but maybe you have something serious you'd like to share as well--maybe there's a time in your life you spent on all the wrong things and wish you could get back.
For anyone with serious regrets, I would like to share this Scripture: Joel 2:25, 26 "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locusts have eaten... You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you."
What are the things that you wish you could have a refund on? (It's good to know that whatever it may be, God has the ability to cover any refunds in our lives.)
