‘Life is like a box of chocolates. Each chocolate is like a portion of life. Some are crunchy, some are nutty, some are sweet, some are chewy but all are delicious in their own way. Without each one, life would not be complete.’ ~Maria Fontaine

If everything was exactly the same, life would simply be dull and boring. There is such variety in every community. Like a box of chocolates we all have our own likes and dislikes. Even when there are only a few left to choose from, we are often tempted to lift the layer and take one from underneath! The same goes with people. We are all so different, so unique and because of this so special. Our Gospels encourage us to be the person we are. We don’t have to try and match someone else. We don’t have to be better than them. We don’t have to waste energy trying to do what they are good at. We are encouraged to just be, to enjoy the things that work for us and to make the most of what’s given to us. Like a box of chocolates, we are limited if we’re just one on our own. But if that one becomes part of a bigger team, then there are endless possibilities.
