Celebrating Differences

Everybody’s good at something…. 


We all have talents, abilities, and skills. 


Thank goodness they are not all the same.


It’s easy to get caught up in the cultural norm of our society to compare ourselves to others, but with that comes the human-based negative emotions that lead to pride, envy, greed, and so on. 


What if we practiced celebrating our differences instead of belittling them? 


I am lost without my friends who are mechanically inclined as well as my other friends who have the common sense I was not blessed with! 


We each have the unique ability to help others and what a positive feeling that produces. 

Are you willing to look for ways to help and celebrate your differences?.. 


Check your experience… 


“He was inexplicably different.” Big Book pg. 9 


Lord, let us use our differences to help others and learn from one another, AMEN.


“There are different kinds of gifts, but they are all from the same Spirit. There are different ways to serve but the same Lord to serve. And there are different ways that God works through people but the same God. God works in all of us in everything we do.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-6


Have a blessed day Y’all!
