If You Were An Animal, What Would You Be And Why?

A giraffe.  They are my favorite.

They have differences that seem weird at first, but they are all for a purpose.  Black tongues, long necks, spindly legs, odd patterns...

But God has given us all differences that seem weird.  But they are all for a purpose, too.  My creativity. My love for public speaking. My enthusiasm and joy.  They are not expected in today's world.

We don't always see how our gifts are used. I'm sure the giraffes didn't. But there is a purpose behind them all.  And if we fail to see those purposes in our own lives and in the lives of others, where are we?

Lost in the Savannah, unable to reach the tallest leaves, with sunburned tongues.
