We have many different parts...

What a wonderful week!  Bear Necessities was recognized at the school and will be recognized at a district banquet on May 7.  You can read about it here.  I was thinking about Bear Necessities this week when I was reading in 1 Corinthians 12:14-18.  It says:

Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part.  If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body.  And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,”  would that make it any less a part of the body?  If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything?

But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it.

Bear Necessities is such a great example of this.  Many people participate and all are necessary for it to work.   If one person fails to answer their call to pick up a few more items one week or to set aside the time to pack &/or deliver the bags, there is a problem and a different part of the body suffers.  This community has many different parts, not just one part and each part is just where He wants it.  You are part of this body and YOU are so important and appreciated!


For next week we need the following items:

24 breakfast bars

24 cans of soup

24 cans of corn

6 boxes of raisins

14 applesauce

16 peanut butter crackers

Have a blessed week!
