Reynolds Wrap

 

My dad’s older brother, Uncle Glen, worked at Reynold’s Aluminum in Richmond, Virginia.  He came up a time or two each year to visit his mother (my paternal grandmother) who lived next door to us.  Uncle Glen always brought my mother a heavy roll of aluminum foil.  It was an end-of-the-roll discard from the factory that weighed two or three pounds and seemed to last forever.  Uncle Glen only had one stipulation: we had to call in “Reynold’s Wrap.”  (He was a good company man.)  I still call the rolls of aluminum foil that I buy at Walmart “Reynold’s Wrap” whether they are or not.  Hey, names are important, not just for Uncle Glen.  Dr. Luke said in Acts 11:26, “… And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.”  I am glad to be called a Christian, but often, I am not the best example of a follower of Jesus Christ.  So, what about you?  Are you a good example of a Christian?  If someone were to watch you for a day, would your life remind others of Jesus Christ?  Think about it.
