4 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5 so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
Romans 12:4-5
Learning is fun....at times. Okay, let's just say, learning the hard way is seldom a joy ride, but the lesson is still learned. Having said that, I have to thank our Crime Scene Investigators for teaching me an invaluable lesson: "When you enter a scene, you bring part of yourself into it and when you leave, you take part of the scene with you."
This is also true of our lives. Believe it or not, every single time we have any sort of interaction with someone else, we leave part of us with them and we take part of them with us. Don't believe me? Think about the number of times you have smiled at someone and they smiled back. You have share yourselves with each other. Now, think of the number of times you have had a disagreement with someone and both walked away angry. We have shared ourselves with each other, but in a negative way.
So here's my challenge to all of us: Share yourself with others so you both benefit from the encounter!
