Specially Created

This summer during one of our wilderness excursions my son took a picture of this toad. I've seen hundreds of these toads in all sizes during my life. Camp Dennen was full of them and we loved the bugs that they consumed. The picture looks very natural, but you are not getting a proper perspective. This toad is vertical on on the side of this rock. With it's smallish legs and big fat body I would have never believed it could do that if I hadn't seen it myself. I know more amazing things than that occur in the natural domain, but it is an example of the special abilities given to living things.

In Bible study this morning we were reading a passage in Romans. It said that we are meant to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice, and then that we will all be parts of the body of Christ with things to do for the proper functioning of the body. Each of us is meant to have specific specially given abilities for the good of the whole body. Spiritually created for a purpose like the special abilities built into so many different creatures like this toad. I don't want to be a toad but I want to fit in my place like he fit in his.
