"Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. If the foot should say, 'Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,' it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. And if the ear should say, 'Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,' it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?"1

Today's Daily Encounter Lego illustration is by Steve Klusmeyer who writes:

"Life might be less complicated for all of us if we each received our own LEGO kit at birth. Yes, I realize there is a choking hazard for children under three. But when you are old enough, you can learn a lot from LEGOs. I have learned that:

"Size doesn't matter. When stepped on in the dark, a 2X2 LEGO brick causes the same amount of pain as a 2X8 brick.

"All LEGO men are created equal (1.5625 inches tall). What they become is limited only by imagination.

"There is strength in numbers. When the bricks stick together, great things can be accomplished.

"Playtime is important. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you are building, as long as you're having fun.

"Disaster happens. But the pieces can be put back together again.

"Every brick has a purpose. Some are made for a specific spot—most can adapt almost anywhere—but every one will fit somewhere.

"Color doesn't matter. A blue brick will fit in the same space as a red brick.

"No one is indispensable. If one brick is unavailable, another can take its place.

"It doesn't always turn out as planned. Sometimes it turns out better. If it doesn't, you can always try again."

there're a lot of things i still dun understand:)
lack of understanding really does impede a lot of things. e.g. the relief in emotions, the soothing of soul, the unravelling of threads of thoughts.

-my tears gone cold i'm wondering why i
got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window
and i can't see at all
but even if i could it'll all be gray
but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad-

-i'm living for the beauty of Your presence-

you should never tell someone something that's not confirmed. especially if it's a vision or the fulfillment of a hope. you can inspire, and suggest... but never give an estimated dateline. 'cos when the person has seized the vision as her own, waiting quietly for the day whereby it'll be fulfilled, and then realized that it won't happen, the hope crumbles. and everything else based on that hope crumbles as well.

-when You said seek Your face
my heart said Your face i will seek-

the sudden void at the ending... everything done leading to that void..

-holy worthy is the Lord
heaven declares Your righteousness-

it's a lesson learnt that only God's Word is the absolute truth. and only God's vision will truly come to pass.

-God of all creation, i worship You-
