DON’T WASTE YOUR
GREATNESS
“But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.” – Matthew 13:16
A mother and a baby camel were lying around, and suddenly the baby camel asked, “Mom, may I ask you some questions?”
Mother said, “Sure, son, is something bothering you?”
Baby said, “Why do camels have humps?”
Mother said, “Well son, we are desert animals. We need the humps to store water for our survival.”
Baby said, “OK, then why are our legs long?”
Mother replied, “Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the desert.”
“OK, then why are our eyelashes long?” the baby continued.
With pride, Mother answered, “My son, our long thick eyelashes protect
our eyes from sandstorms.” Baby stopped to think then said, “I see. So
if the hump is to store water, the legs are for walking through the
desert, and these eyelashes protect our eyes, then what in heaven’s name
are we doing here at the zoo?”
Funny but this story above challenges us not to put our greatness to
waste. God gifted us with so much and He challenges us to be His
witnesses to the world. C’mon, it’s showtime! JC Libiran (jclibiran@ymail.com)
Reflection: We are all God’s ambassadors. Are you ready to live this out?
Lord God, may I reflect Your love and greatness through my life. Amen.
St. Sharbel Makhlouf, pray for us.
