Hi all,
As you know we all are members (pun intended) of a body, being in the congregation, the worldwide brotherhood of Jehovah's servants.
Thinking about this body (Romans 12), with my family, we tried to identify which part of the body are our local friends.
It was a funny thought experiment/meditation subject because we tried to focus on positive things about our friends.
Sometimes we decided we did not have enough info to associate one friend with any limb... So we need to get to know him/her more.
For instance, we have an elder would could be the "hand", he is a great asset of the congregation, he is working with the hospital committee (hand of the surgeon with a scalpel).
There is another who is an "eye", very wise, always noticing good points to improve, also he has glasses and is often smiling.
Also we discussed about ourselves, individually explaining how we view ourselves, which limb/part of the body we would be. Then compared... It was very fun and upbuilding.
I told I think I'm a "cheek" because I like to smile
And it helps with anything related to eating and speaking
As a servant, I serve and help the friend (distributing literature (spiritual food) for my group and helping with territories (preaching)).
Which are you?
