Since a new story began with Jesus and it is still going on, we are part of the story. We add a new page each day. Our names are on each page and you have a part to play. Not one of us is insignificant.
Even the small parts have a place. We each have a specific role that nobody else will be able to fill. Do you ever think about how important your role is to other people around you? You are who you are for many reasons.
It is amazing to think that we are part of the story that continues since Jesus walked here on these grains of sand. Our mundane trips to the grocery store, our hours at the office, our time in church, our reading in a cosy chair, our conversations with those around us are all part of it as well. Seemingly normal and routine things have a way of becoming so much more when we make it about God, and not ourselves.
The way in which we choose to live is what matters. Whether we are picking out ripe apples or typing emails to clients, all that we do is for the glory of God. We would not have apples to eat or fingers to type with if it were not for God's grace and goodness.
Muse about that next time you make or eat apple cobbler and when you send thirty emails today.
