The Subway Shop by Carol Eliassen

I had an assignment for one of my classes where I was suppose to visit a place and then write about it.  I was picking up subway sandwiches for my daughter's family so I decided to write about my experience while there.  It is amazing what we experience but never really notice consciously.  Here is the very short story.  I hope you enjoy!


The door opened out towards the sidewalk with the smell of fresh baked bread seemingly floating in the air. The smell had a mixture of fresh herbs and multi-grains.  I wasn’t really hungry until that door opened and the smell hit me in the face.  I was hooked and the strong scent was reeling me in.

The walls were decorated with overly large red tomatoes, green peppers and a scrumptious loaf of bread.   Jazz and love songs played from the overhead speakers as if to have you fall in love with the place. 

I hurried up to the counter anxiously waiting my turn as a mother with two young children tugging at her skirt stood gazing at the huge sandwich she was having made.  All the colors that were noted on the wall were all on her sandwich.  That was what I wanted.  I wanted it all. I felt like an Artist with an empty palette and I planned on adding every color into a splashed collage inside my bun! 

A young boy and his Dad lingered at the door but as soon as it opened you could tell by the look on their faces they were being reeled in too.

What About You?

What About You? You may have free will,  that is true. Picking your path  without a clue.  You look to your own device knowing  you will only gain the world.  I can't emphasize enough that  in the end it will fade like a mural.  Your eyes are closed as  the world draws you in.  I can pray for you, but without God  my words just melt in the wind.  You sow what you reap.  We all do, be it for good or evil.  The difference you may ask  is not what equals.  The difference is God,  the rapture is true,  we shall ascend, but  what about you?  There is a slim chance  on a tribulation date,  you will have to sacrifice your body  on God's holy slate.  You can ask him to save your soul  in a world filled with fool's gold. Your reward will be to enter the gates  made of pearls but void of hate!  Eternity is my goal.  I want to take you as I go.  Don't hesitate...

A Child of God

I believe yet I'm not perfect. I know, yet I'm not the most knowlegable I care yet I'm not the most compassionate I am yet I don't truly know myself I love yet don't always feel loved I  reach out but can never totally grasp I explore yet don't feel I'm moving forward But, when I pray, I move mountains! When I trust and hope I feel the power! When I give my all to Christ I am all of the above... I believe I know I care I am I reach I explore When you know God, Christ and the Holy Spirit you are a child of the most high God ❤️
