Elephant Ears

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.
