Elephant Ears
My daughter’s ears slightly protrude. As with many teens, she focused on her
shortcomings rather on her assets. It
never helped while in elementary school her friends called her elephant
ears. No encouraging words absolved her
anguish.
One Sunday after church a friend of the family asked
her if she would pose for a brochure their Christian radio station was
producing. The irony of the situation was that she wanted Anne to wear a cross
earring, her ear being the focus of the picture. We had to laugh at God’s provision. He took the thing she was most self-conscious
about and used it in attracting people to listen to a Christian station. Isn’t
that just like God to take the things in our life that are far from perfect and
use them for His glory. I wonder what
elephant ears loom in our life? You’ve
heard the old saying “make a silk purse our of a sow’s ear.” God made a call to listen to His music from
elephant ears.
Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to
those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
