FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Do you know where you fit in?
Because each of us is individual, no one is quite like anyone else, just as no two leaves, even on the same tree, are exactly alike. This individuality seems obvious, but sometimes it's hard to understand just what our special contribution is supposed to be.
At a time when I was pondering whether I was valuable, and even who I was, a friend pointed out Mrs. Eddy's answer to a similar question: "Thus may each member of this church rise above the oft-repeated inquiry, What am I? to the scientific response: I am able to impart truth, health, and happiness, and this is my rock of salvation and my reason for existing." The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 165.
Not long after reading this I was taking a walk, and I stopped and looked around. I saw a huge oak tree, individual tall pines, and a few white birch trees. Each was a distinct part of the whole scene.
