You probably found the butterflies.  Did you find the umbrellas?  What about the seashells and wrenches?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Umbrellas, seashells, and butterflies for flower petals; and wrenches for pollen of the flower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Lego world, this is called CPU, Creative Parts Usage.  In simpler terms, CPU is when a Lego piece\/part is used in its non-original purpose.  For example, an umbrella being used as a flower petal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a way, we, together with you, are like that bouquet of flowers.  People see us, Stephen and Ginger, but if they look closer, they will see our team of partners. They will find a store manager, a mechanic, a hair stylist, a nurse, a carpenter, a schoolteacher, a doctor, a daycare worker, a factory worker, a bus driver, an electrician, a stay-at-home mom, a chef, and so many other people.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legos are the interlocking plastic building bricks.\u00a0 You are the interlocking partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of us together for His glory.  We are all part of the body of Christ, created for His purpose, and used for His glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
