Precious Savior, Thank You for the reminder that we are all part of the Body of Christ, that You gift all of us in different ways and in different seasons to step in and step up to be Your hands and feet.

Exodus 35:35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers.
Have a blessed day.
