PURE IMAGINATION. - God has called each of us to use our gifts and talents. Whether that be creative talents, cooking talents, writing talents, marketing talents, construction talents, singing talents... whatever! - God has called us to use those talents for His glory and ultimately to help those in need. "...If you help the least of these you are serving me..." If you think about it, God is a creative God. Look at the colors He has given us - the world around us. GORGEOUS. And I think that is overlooked. I think it would be cool if we relate how creative and powerful He is with what He is capable of doing through us.
I was watching Charlie and the Chocolate factory the other day and the song that is sung when the kids and their parents first walk into the chocolate factory (where the water fall is and such..) just really hit home for me somehow. "Hold your breath. Make a wish. Count to three. Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination. Take a look and you'll see into your imagination..." Ode is very much about melding creativity and God's work to serve the poor, the lame, and the blind. Let's emphasize that. Let's give others that same inspiration that we have. And not just by showing it through our event but let's shout it! - Let's shout that God has power to work through our imagination - through our creativity and work.
Part of the song goes like this:
"If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing to it."
Those last two lines I want to really emphasize. Because changing the world isn't as hard as people make it out to be. They just need a spark of inspiration and a little imagination.
Haven't seen Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Her's a vid of the part we're talking about!
