What would Spring be without all those sensational, seasonal confectioneries, and Peeps are way up on top of my list. Though I do like to eat jelly beans. There is an open bag on my desk right now, and of course they are the traditional or "Classic" flavor. Chocolate is always welcome no mater the shape, coating or filling. But there's just something special about the annual appearance of those little marshmallow treats.
The Peeps' manufacturer, Just Born, Inc. of Bethlehem, PA, has been trying to market "Other" marshmallow products during different times of the year. Like Orange Pumpkins or White Snowmen. They have this slogan: "Peeps - Always in Season". I have never purchased a marshmallow reindeer because everybody knows that candy-canes in the winter taste best.
There are many things that only seem right when it's the proper season. Yet there some things that are never out of season, like a Hersey Bar, a bag of Doritos, a bottle of Dr. Pepper and of course, Serving the Lord. Like Timothy was instructed to Preach "In season and out of season", our service for God is never to be dependent on our seasonal temperament. The work of the ministry is not just for Christmas & Easter but is for year-round involvement and enjoyment. So, why not borrow the Peeps' slogan: "Church - Always in Season!"
