Fitting in the Box

I pulled this frosted mini wheat bag out of the box this morning, and marveled that it was so compact and thin, and unfallen. Sometimes I feel like that! Then, things happen that make me feel fallen, and unable to fit back into the box. It might be that trip to the dentist, who delivers bad news. Or, wondering if last year's bathing suit still fits. Or, what to do for that boy who is so lonely. But, we don't always have to fit in that box. We can be clipped and thrown in the cupboard just as we are, and still taste just as sweet for breakfast as those in the box. Thank goodness for eternal perspective!
