This end up.

Contrary to popular belief, life is not like a box of chocolates. Its true that you never know what you're going to get, but even if you pick the orange cream instead of the coconut because there's no more molasses chews, all it will do is leave a bad taste in your mouth and let you down a little, not kill you. Unless, of course, you pick one with a nut in it and you're deathly allergic to nuts. Ok, so maybe the saying isn't so far off after all. On a side note, I want to know why you're willingly partaking in potentially contaminated chocolates that could kill you?? Anyways, the point is it would be really nice if life came packaged with (styrofoam) peanuts and a "this side up" sticker. That way you're at least semi prepared for things to be a little jostled up inside when you get the package and the arrow's pointing towards your feet. But it doesn't, so you can't. You can never know what's going to walk through that door, figuratively or literally. You never know when you wake up in the morning if everything is going to be just as you so carefully placed when you went to bed. So should you throw in the box? Flush the chocolates? No, but maybe start taking allergy shots or get an epi pen. You can never prepare yourself fully for the unknown. But you can get to know the One who is never suprised by anything.
