Pigeon on the Harp

Pigeons can fly. 

I wonder what if pigeons can play the harp!

But the harp is not the pigeon's strong suite. Never was, never will. One should never estimate a pigeon by what it can't do. 

Instead, look and behold the beautiful music of the pigeon, the solos of cooing and the soaring of wings into the clouded sky! It is never wise to measure a pigeon by what you can do. The pigeon will never measure up. For likewise, if the pigeon was to measure you by your flight ...

But I'm not really thinking of the pigeon. I'm thinking about people, human beings who foolishly measure others by their own strengths. So, cherish your strengths but don't thumb down others - they are not you. And you are not them. Celebrate the strengths, gifts and talents in others. And give thanks to God for your own strengths, gifts and talents - and put them to good use for the joy and strengthening of others!

You and me, we are pigeons!
