 "As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ." - 1 Corinthians 12:12
It's hard to believe that the skinny pillar on the corner is expected to hold up the whole side of the building. What an awesome responsibility! It seems like the weakest point needs to be the strongest point. But somehow it manages to do just that, and it works. We often do the same. We rely on each other, as well we should, as the many make up the whole. Christ has graced the parts, that is, the people, with varied and unique gifts so that together they make up the body (the Church). Whereas the column may look insignificant and ineffective to hold up the building, without it, the building would surely collapse. O God, enable me to know that the gifts and talents you bestowed on me, though seemly so unsubstantial, help to hold up the body of the Church. Amen. TAGS: Prayer, Reflection  The plane contrails were dancing in the sky. One would fade away, and then another one or two would replace it. At times they were running parallel; at times they were crossing paths. It was fascinating to daydream as the show played out in the blue sky.
Who were the people on the planes? Where were they heading? Going or returning? Business or vacation? So many stories were being written within those planes. So much goes into the formation of the contrails. Hot, moist air from the jet engines mixes with cold, humid air at high altitudes. In much the same way, the plans, aspirations, and lives of each passenger and employee in the plane mixed to form a unique trail through the sky. What will become of them? TAGS: Reflection |
