For the past few years my family has worked together selling fireworks in order to fund our passion for Disney World. My family, my brother's family, and mom & dad, all basically give up two weeks of our lives to the heat of a tent so that we can spend one week with "the mouse."
It might sound crazy to most people but to us it makes perfect sense. We are a close family but its only when we work together that we truly get to see each other "shine." Each one of us uses our own special gifts to help make our little fireworks tent successful.
The bible tells us that this is the way the church works when we follow God's plan.
But God has combined the members of the body. . . So that there should be no division in the body; but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 1 Corinthians 12:24-25, 27
We are all different. We have different talents and abilities. The lesson for us as God's Family is to let him direct our efforts. If we do this then we will be successful.
Happy Independence Day!
