For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same
function.
We are all important in the work of Christ. There are no first or second class citizens in the
Christian community.
(Romans 12:4
NRSV)
Ralph Daniel is a salesman in Singapore. Ralph moves briskly about on foot and by bus, going
from client to client. About a year ago while at home playing and running with his dog, he
accidentally hit the small toe on his left foot hard against the corner of a wooden door pillar. The
doctor told him to rest the foot and not to wear his left shoe for two weeks. Ralph had to cancel
all appointments for 18 days; consequently he closed no sales and earned no income. He was
healthy and fit in every way yet incapacitated by that injured little toe for nearly three weeks. A
hurt little toe prevented him from earning income! This experience did teach Ralph to appreciate
Paul's words about the importance of all of the members of the body--whether they be hands,
eyes, or toes.
Dear Jesus, may I work faithfully to build up your community of hope and love. Amen.
