Stirring the pot…

Differences make us the same
As you ask yourself. ‘How?’
But pieces of a puzzle would not be pieces
If they did not fit together

Which is better the sand or the water?
Which one can stand as a wall without the other?
My father’s house is surrounded by a wall made with sand and water

And as we smooth the land around my father’s house
Some areas need knocking down
As others need building up

As we frame my father’s house
Some pieces of lumber are cut in two
While others, they are fixed together

And so are we, the things that matter to God
The ones he uses to build his kingdom

Is it not better to stir the pot than to let your meal burn?
Are we not better urging each other to think, than becoming lukewarm?

You have used some very good illustrations here Dave. Yes, it does make one think, and isn't that what we are supposed to do? (smile) Blessings, Sharon

Dave, I liked your words about urging one another to think...it reminds me of the Scripture.."Stir up the gift." Thanks!

"For with the same judgement..." Far as I can see, it's a good thing the Lord provides a great big pot. Look out, I'm gonna splash! :::Cheshire grin::: Yes Sir, as the other writer said, it's quite thought provoking. Well done!
