The Body of Christ

Mon, Dec 31, 2007

General, Stacy

The town of Cochrane created an amazing mural consisting of 1 foot square tiles.  Each tile is painted by various artists and has its own individual picture, yet when put together, they create this incredible composition (click here to view mural).  You can click on each of the tiles–I’d recommend starting with the horse’s eye.

This is a beautiful portrayal of the body of Christ.  As Krista shared in The Greatest Stories Ever Told, we all have our own testimonies, which paint our individual tiles.  What is beyond my comprehension is how God can take all of our tiles and put them together to create a magnificent display.

So in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.”  Romans 12:5-8

My dear husband says I’m feisty, quirky, and spunky. Some friends describe me as sensitive, caring and compassionate. Another friend laughs at my (frequent) cooking mishaps. My daughter thinks I’m a great tea-party companion and, currently, my infant son views me as the milk machine. And who do I say I am? Well, that’s tricky to answer. Definitely all of the above, but so much more. I’m a woman who desperately loves God. I try to follow His will and purposes for my life–sometimes I’m successful, yet many times I fail miserably. Sunsets refresh me and watching the ocean’s waves invigorates me as I view a dance my God orchestrated. Traveling allows me to view God’s distinct fingerprints. Running clears my mind and reading lets me journey to places my budget or time constraints would never accommodate. Being a freelance writer and public speaker is terrifying yet simultaneously immensely gratifying. For more information about me, see the "About Author" pages.
