His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness, through the
knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
An elderly lady has been watching. She walks over and asks, "What in the world are you doing?"
In a ridiculous way that little story reminds us that different people play different roles. When one
person does not do his or her job, there is a hole. Are you fulfilling God's call?
(2 Peter 1:3
NRSV)
A bright yellow highway department truck creeps along a quiet, city street. A worker slowly
climbs out of the truck and laboriously digs a large hole between the sidewalk and the street. A
few minutes later, a second worker gets out, fills in the hole, and tamps down the dirt. A few
yards down the street they repeat the same procedure, then again and again.
One of the workers says, "We're on an urban beautification project."
"Beautification?" she asks with dismay. "What's so beautiful about all those filled-in holes?"
"Well, you see," says the worker, "the man who plants the trees is out sick today."
Dear God, show me the way of fulfill my calling. Amen.
