I watched the first Tinkerbell movie last night with my girls… I was struck by the opening seen where Tinkerbell has to find her gift, what her talent is. She looks at the people and judges them by appearance and walks past the hammer which is for the tinker fairies… She does not want this to be her gift and spends the majority of the movie trying to learn a different talent even though the glowing hammer was more than any other fairy. It was her gift and that is what she needed to do. Once she figured that our she was the most productive and able to restore the chaos that she had caused by trying to be something she was not. That is what Paul tells the Corinthians and us in 1 Corinthians 12, that we all have a gift and it is our responsibility to do that function for the body and only we can do it. And ear can not be a foot, or a hand can not be an eye. The stomach has the job it has because that is what it’s gift is… do not try to be someone or something you are not. Be who you are. You will be the best you there is!
“Your talent makes you who you are, you should be proud of it.” ~ Tinker Bell
