Imitation Sushi?

Friday night I was so excited becasue we were going to eat at a Chinese restaraunt.  We had a coupon so we thought we might try this new place.  First we couldn't find it. Bad sign #1! Then when we found it there was only one car in the parking lot. Bad sign #2! As we entered through the doors and passed the gigantic golden Buddha we laughed at how funny this night had been so far.  (Little did we know there was going to be more laughter) The decor of the place was old chinese.  What I mean is that everything including the owners was ancient! We sat at a little red booth that had tattered and worn faux leather. For a reason that I don't know how it happened, we decided upon the buffet.  I was persuaded by the sushi.  I love sushi and I could have a whole bunch for only $7.99!   I should have been warned by the pineapple on top of the sushi, that this was no regular sushi! Bad sign #3!

One bite is all it took.  As I looked closer I realized that this did not have any kind of fish that I had ever seen inside of Sushi before.  It was bologna and american cheese.  (I couldn't make this up if I tried!)   This was definately not the real thing!

Needless to say we won't be visiting this place again. We left and went and had some delicious pie. With real fruit inside. Nothing imitation here!



Scripture warns us about imitations.



and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.         Matthew 24:11

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. I John 4:1

Father help me to pay close attention to the signs and warnings that you give me. Open my eyes to the truth of your word and help me to discern real from imitation.

I love you.
