OOAK

As I am learning each day a little bit more about how to have an "online presence", I have been perusing selling sites such as ETSY and e-bay.
In many instances I noticed the acronym "OOAK".  I'd seen it before, and I knew it had something to do with handmade items, but I just learned that it means ONE-OF-A-KIND.  (duh, right??)
Listening to my pastor's recent sermon, this acronym kept coming up in my mind.

OOAK- that describes me...and you....and everyone.  We are "lovingly handmade by God" and each one of us was created exactly the way God wanted us to be. 

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.
Thank you for making me
 so wonderfully complex!  Your workmanship is marvelous- and how well I know it".(psalm 139)

I hope you will embrace the individual God created....YOU!

And remember that God loves all of His creations...think of this when you encounter some who are "marching to a different drummer".   OOAK!
