Relationships are not built upon having the same qualities. Rather, it is appreciating our differences that pull us together and enable us to do what God wants us to do.

Last week it hadn't rained for days, and I heard her out on the porch
saying, “Don't worry, it will rain very soon. Be ready for it and be 
patient.” 

Not knowing what she was talking about or who she was talking to, I just
responded by saying, “Thanks, I was wondering about when it would 
rain.” 

Evidently, talking to the plants and flowers is very much appreciated by
those plants and flowers. I've been tempted to go out and talk to them 
myself, but I was fearful that they would shrink in fear. Then guess 
who would be in trouble? 

It's pretty evident that I could not take care of plants and flowers as
she does. Probably none of them would survive. Those plants and flowers 
ought to be quite thankful that I am not the one taking care of them. 
They ought to be thankful for the expert with a wonderful green thumb 
and not the one with the black and blue thumb. 

Even though I can't take care of them, I can appreciate them. Also, I
can appreciate the one who does all the work to make them look as good 
as they do. 

Sitting on the back porch drinking some coffee and looking at the
flowers, I thought of the wonderful verse in the Bible. “Wherefore 
comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do” 
(1 Thessalonians 5:11). 

Relationships are not built upon having the same qualities. Rather, it
is appreciating our differences that pull us together and enable us to 
do what God wants us to do.
