Have you ever felt like your piece of the puzzle was one of those edge pieces with nothing but blue - maybe part of the sky or a bit of water? Not part of the main picture, not flashy, just an edge piece. Sometimes I look at the work being done here and the work yet to be done or even notice other things that need to be done and wonder if my piece of this puzzle is significant. I'm only a teacher. It's a small class. Maybe you've felt the same way. You might say, "I'm only doing what a daughter should do," or "It's just little league," or "I don't lead this class, I just keep the discussion rolling," or "I don't have a real job." Not long ago I had a chance to sit down with the mother of the children I am teaching. She teared up as she told me that she was certain God had chosen the right people to be here at just the right times and she was so grateful we had come. That day it dawned on me that the puzzle I see is not the same puzzle everyone else sees (surprise, surprise!). In my picture, I am an edge. Utilitarian. A place holder. In hers, I am a field of wildflowers. Rest. I wonder what I am in God's puzzle? Even more than that, will I be content if I am a plain blue piece in God's sky? Today I know that I am here to do one thing...teach these children to the best of my ability. To love them and point them to Christ. To model for them Godly behavior and encourage them to do their best. Who knows, maybe my edge piece will be exactly what's needed to complete a puzzle they've been working on for a long time.
