Note: On Tuesdays and some Sundays, you can find me at Your Daily Tripod, owned by my friend TonyD. A longer version of the post below appears there.
I had dinner recently with a couple of friends, and one of them said she doesn’t know where I get the energy to do all I do—a full-time job; 
writing, editing, and speaking on the side; owning a women’s conference; and, of course, following the Caps.
I had to shake my head in amazement. I don’t know where she gets the energy to do all she does: a demanding more-than-full-time job; a wife, mother, and grandmother; weekly prayer group host; and more. Same goes for our other friend—a full-time job, wife, caregiver to a beloved relative, and a robust service ministry in so many other ways.
That’s the thing, isn’t it? We are many parts in one body. Being those parts is seldom easy, even with the Lord’s love and grace. But when you think about it, really think about it, would you want to take on anyone else’s part? I doubt it, if you knew everything that is involved in what he or she does to bring souls to the Kingdom. Our parts are unique, just as we are. But working together and honoring each other’s parts, we please Him and in ways large and small, we change the world.
