Diversity--Things I Love Thursday

I'm young, married, female, middle class and white; I don't have any culturally interesting labels. I have interesting qualities, I'm sure, but when I fill out paperwork, I check the less-than-exciting boxes.

The little ekklesia to which I belong is a beautiful one. It resembles heaven far more than it used to, and I'd love to see more color and age and SES.

Diversity is pretty to me. That may sound cheesy, but it is. Here's why:

• I like lots of colors.
• I like learning from people older and younger than me.
• Heaven will be really colorful.
• I love to learn different languages.
• Believers in humble economic states have much to teach the rest of us about humility.
• The church is filled with gifts that I don't have but need in others.
• Believers in high economic states have much to teach the rest of us about humility. 
• Older believers are wise.
• Young believers are free.

I love diversity. I really do!
