fruit snacks.

At my internship we've got snacks. I get hungry. So I make a regular trip to where the fruit snacks are. This is a Cosco size box of Tree Top fruit snacks, the healthy . . . ier kind. I probably ate 30+ bags of those little guys from the first box we had. And for the entire box I got strawberry maybe 4 times. I really like strawberry. Meanwhile the customer service girl got multiple strawberries in every one she opened.

I felt cursed. All I wanted were strawberries. I barely even got oranges, the second best flavor.

Well. We eventually ran out and recently we got a new box.

The odds have been much more in my favor:

Of the four packages I've opened I've gotten 8 strawberries. Yes, I counted.

So what does this have to do with anything?

1. When blessings come, they often come in greater volume than we expected. And often when we're not expecting them.

2. Just because we've had bad fortune with something, or it hasn't been yielding results, it doesn't mean that can't change. Sometimes you just need a new box. Sometimes a small change is enough.
