Dear Friend

A mother and a baby camel were lying around under a tree.

Then the baby camel asked, “Why do camels have humps?”

The mother camel considered this and said, “We are desert animals, and our humps store fat, which our bodies can use for energy and water when food is scarce. That’s how we survive in the desert for long periods without eating or drinking.”

The baby camel thought for a moment then said, “Ok…why are our legs long and our feet rounded?”

The mama replied, “They are meant for walking in the desert.”

The baby paused. After a beat, the camel asked, “Why are our eyelashes long? Sometimes they get in my way.”

The mama responded, “Those long thick eyelashes protect your eyes from the desert sand when it blows in the wind.

The baby thought and thought. Then he said, “I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eyelashes protect my eyes from the desert then why are we here in the zoo?”

To experience growth and expand your territories, you will step out of your comfort zone and use the unique skills and gifts that you have because they will atrophy when you don’t use them.

Have a great week.

Shalom,
