I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. (Psalm 139:14)
Psalm 139:14 came to my mind while I was reading You Are Special by Max Lucado. You are invited to a land of wooden people called The Wemmicks. Every Wemmick was different in some way, but they were all carved by Eli, the woodworker.
The Wemmicks gave each other stickers. Stickers were nice for some, but not for others. The stickers separated the "good" from the "bad"; the "talented" from the "not so talented". Punchinello was considered to be clumsy and without talent. When anyone would met him, they would know the type of person he was right away. Why? It was because of the stickers on him.
These labels did not make Punchinello feel good about himself. Fortunately, he met Lucia. She stood out from everyone because she did not have any stickers! Lucia told him to go see Eli. Something wonderful happens when Punchinello mets Eli.
This book is encouragement for children and big people like me to remember "I am special" because of what God thinks!
