We all know the rules right? Don't put the tomatoes on the bottom of the basket, well on this day I entered the grashrie store like I always do from the produce side and started filling up my basket.
Then I notice as I looked down and saw that my poor vine ripened tomatoes where all the way at the bottom of basket and my eggs where sitting fat and sassy on top.
This got me thinking about how we have people in our lives like our family members (tomatoes) that we see first in our day and they seem happy to run in our baskets through the grocery store of our life, and some even though we know the tomatoes need extra care we still put thing like our eggs (our clients) above them.
You might say that the eggs need more of your attention and can seem just as delicate and fragile and so they deserve the top just as much as the tomatoes. We justify this by saying to ourselves that it's just until check out. This is because after the check out the tomatoes get our full love and attention and we put them on our window sill to be admired and enjoyed.
But what about that trip the tomatoes took on the bottom of the basket? What bruises did they get while riding at the bottom? Or even worse, you could have a break in a delicate vine of one of your precious tomatoes. Was it worth not shifting a few things around during your trip to keep from anything happening to your tomatoes. I say that we should always take a minute and shift our basket to make sure our tomatoes are on top along with our eggs.
