As one of the apple eaters I needed to justify my actions and make sure that this unspoken rule of apple picking is okay. I have now spoken to two apple orchards (one of them being the orchard we were picking at on Saturday) and both places confirmed the practice of eating/tasting the apples as you pick them!!I think it’s great Megan cared enough to call not just one but two orchards to check out the rules. Just proves I was right in my assessment about Megan in particular, and the rest of the group as well: they really are a good bunch.
So the quandary of eating apples in the you-pick orchard has been solved. We wrapped this one so quickly I think Congress should put us in charge of the bank bailout.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should... "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others. (1 Corinthians 10:23-24)
ReplyDeleteWow, Christy, thank you very much for your kind comments!! I was impressed with your concern that we were doing something wrong. So many of us just assume that if others are doing something than it must be okay (especially if those others are christians). I was challenged to think about some things that I assume are right that just might not be right. I love you girl!!
