MAGNIFICENT MRS. BENNETT'S BAND

When I was in the 2nd grade,my teacher was Mrs. Bennett, and she was your typical 1950's school teacher, and I loved her! We had a musical band in our room, that consisted of quite a few different instruments. Some played the triangle; some played the sticks; some the tambourine,but I had a wonderful plastic bird whistle!
It was a small,cream colored whistle,in the shape of a bird,that you filled with water, and you blew into it, and it make all kinds of gurgling, chirping noises, and truly sounded like a bird warbling!We all had different instruments, but were part of this "Magnificent Mrs. Bennett's Band."
When we function as the body of Christ, we function as one unit too, but with many parts! We all have many different gifts and talents that we bring to the body of Christ to offer Him.We are all appendages of service for the Lord, and we can't function without each other!
The next time someone wants to do something for you,or help you,but you are too "proud" to accept, remember that you might be stifling their gift from God.
Let them give of themselves,as unto the Lord......
Now that I think about it,I was the only one with a bird whistle.
Think they were telling me something?
