I recently tried this question at a retreat and it went over really well, better than I thought it would.

I asked everyone to remember a great picnic that they went on with family or friends. Think about the food, the utensils, disposable cups, serving trays, etc.

Now if you had to say that over the last few weeks you felt like one item at the picnic what would you say you were? For example... You may feel like the disposable cup, you were full but you have given away everything you have only to be tossed aside.

Enjoy!
