Eagles and Turkeys

You’ve all heard the expression, “It’s hard to soar with the eagles when you work with a bunch of turkeys.”

First let me say, that I’m sure at some point in my life (maybe even now), I’m the turkey in the adage. So I point my finger at myself, too.

But…

I sometimes HATE to volunteer because I really dislike being treated like I’m brainless. I also dislike disorganization when I show up to help. And, yes, I realize, Jesus would never have felt like this. Yes, I know that SOMETIMES I just don’t have a “servant’s heart.”

And maybe I’m still just a little bitter regarding certain school organizations to be a completely dedicated servant in that area.

And I have to wonder why God continues to put those frustrating people in my life that I have to deal with!

I want to be like Jesus, but somedays, I can only be a turkey.

Gobble, gobble.
