Life's a Bean!

Beans come in all shapes and sizes. Some people use them for themselves. Others use them for others. Some beans are used as food. Others are used for jewelry. Some beans are used for coffee, and some are even carefully written on to relay messages to others.

Like beans we are each a miraculous bean, just waiting to rest in what we hope is good soil. Throughout our short lives on this earth we experience rain, sleet, snow, mud, dirt, sun, and wind. In the end, though we have more control over when and where we go, we don't have complete control. God has plans for each one of us and can use us to bring glory to His name and purpose regardless of our opinions and understanding of our circumstances. All he asks is for us to be available and to surrender to his unlimited opportunities to glorify His name. Are you available?
