day 5 ... being the body ...

today i am thankful for rain that held off until right after our walk, finding the courage to speak up, a fun night at youth, considering new possibilities on multiple fronts, and seeing that good things come to those who wait ... and ask the right questions ;) 

in doing my Bible study earlier tonight, i came across this scripture ...

"... But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it." (1 Corinthians 12:24-26 NIV)

oh, that the world would operate by these standards.  and oh, what a challenge to this believer to operate by this standard in the world, even when others do not.
