Back in mid-January Shelley and I were at a large craft store when I spotted these cases of knobs. From their size, it looks as though they’re designed for cabinet-doors, and they have one purpose – to give a set of approaching fingers something to grip while opening a door or drawer.
Notice – they’re not all one color or one shape. They may indeed be all “one-purpose” knobs – ways to open a cupboard or drawer – but they’re decorative. They’re created for people who have an eye for beauty, and who want to make function pleasurable.
Jesus never told parables describing people as knobs – though He was a carpenter and would naturally have the ability to combine functionality with beauty. But I’m sure He would insist that, while helping people, we show a caring and beautiful spirit.
