when i look around at people, i am baffled by the vast array of differences that exist.
sometimes i ask (& have overheard others say),
"why didn't He just make us all alike?"
and then i see a pack of legos & realize that this is more like how God works.
we are not meant to exist alone.
a solitary lego is of little use other than to hurt a whole lot when you step on it.
but blend it with other colors, shapes, sizes,
and you get a colorful house or a pirate ship or a whole new imaginative construct.
solitary legos just can't get that far.
next time you decide it's time to just go it alone or find someone exactly like you to work with,
remember that the end result will be a lot less dynamic & effective.
we need the different strengths & perspectives that others bring.
that was in our Lord's lego blueprints, after all.
~independence? that is middle-class blasphemy. we are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.~
