“Dad! Can you help me carry my pumpkin?”

“My pumpkin’s dirty!”

“Dad! Will you help me scoop out the guts?”

“There’s a bug on my pumpkin, Dad!”

“Honey! Get the slug off!!! Ewww, there’s another one!”

“Oh yuck! My pumpkin is full of mold.”

“Dad! I kind of murdered the gourd.”

“Ohh… An entire bottle of Elmer’s glue tipped over on the dining room table.”

Important pumpkin gut removal

It may not feel like it when you’re frazzled, and being pulled in every direction imaginable, but that’s the feeling of being important.

Someone needs you.

If you’re needed, you’re important. If you’re important, your time is important. If your time is important, then giving your time away to help people is even more important. Because your time will make a difference.

Use your time wisely.
