The one-man-band or orchestra: A whole community to thank
I used to have an image of myself as Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Not the chimney sweep, not the one jumping into paintings, not even the one in the pin striped suit dancing with penguins (although I do enjoy walking like a penguin with my nephew).
No, I was imagining myself with a lost and dumb-founded face after attempting to play and sing a song as a one-man band.
As a known multi-tasker, I can fall into the trap of wanting to do it all: walk to the beat of the drum, clash the cymbals, blow the trumpet, hit my head against the horn, and also play the harmonica. Or not.
More Diversity in Community
“Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.”
1 Corinthians 12 compares the church to a body, with Christ as the head. I like to tell women that they may feel like they are the most insignificant part of the body, but ask a cancer patient after chemo how important nose hairs are and you’ll remember that there is no wasted part of our anatomy or insignificant member of the Lord’s body.
Many long to be the hands and feet of Jesus—noble goals, for sure. However, if God has called you to be a pinky fingernail, I applaud you today. You are the only one that can reach to scratch the itch on my back or handle the tickle in my ear.
Who can you appreciate today for their unique diversity in your community?
