my husband has called me maddie b since we got married & it is so easy to be drawn to thinking about the animal when you hear that one little letter, "b". bees live, gather, & are sent out to do what they need to do in order to survive, all working together for one purpose..building off of each other. the church can be compared to the hive, as a place of gathering & coming together as a body to encourage each other. we can take that encouragement, the gifts the Lord has given us, and the gospel out to wherever the Lord leads & be used for his glory, the same goal we all have as believers.
