A further Elmo related thought…
People relate to Elmo the puppet as a real being because of the puppeteer behind (or beneath) him. There’s an illustration of grace and service here – someone who is willing to work in the background to support someone else. The puppeteer gets no public credit or acknowledgement but is affirmed when others are blessed by Elmo.
May we be willing to have the same approach to serve and support others in order that they’ll be blessed and be a blessing.
