A Moment Aside --- 13 July 2021
We like to excel. We like
to be the best. However, that is not possible in every case. Some people are
good at many things and some are good at only a few things. All things are not
equal as far as that goes.
Still if we can bake,
there will always be a better baker. Yet if the better baker is not around and
our cake or pie is fine, it is still rather good and will satisfy those who eat
the cake or pie.
All talent is God-given
and we can exercise our talents to develop them further. Such God-given talent
is given in different measures to different people. Were we all the same,
things could get pretty boring. There is a time and place for uniformity, but it
is not for every time and for every place.
It’s been said that birds
sing even though they don’t know the words. That might be a lesson for us as
well. I was told a long time ago that “Anything
worth doing is worth doing badly.” Do it if it’s worth doing even if you
don’t do it perfectly. Do it for the joy of doing it and to celebrate what God
has created in you… and what God creates through you.
