Camels and Chickens
Look at your Nativity scene. Each figure represents someone or something doing what God created them to do. Sheep bleating, a donkey working, and wise men....doing wise things!
Why do we goof this up? Why aren't we content and confident in being who God created us to be? Musically gifted or shy or athletic or smart or hard working or funny or creative - or billions of other combinations. God. Made. One. You. Trey lived the life God gave him to live. Yes, it included cancer, but Trey lived his life as best as he knew how.
Our church is preparing for 18 performances of a Living Nativity this weekend. I will giggle as I see the camels walk by: What if the camels thought they were chickens and ran around and tried to lay an egg?!? And what if Mary got upset because she always wanted to be an angel with the glittery wings?!?
No wrapping paper, no shiny bow. Accept the gift God has given this world: One beautiful, unique YOU!
"for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." Philippians 2:13
