Something Out of Nothing


I got an email the other day that I found both fascinating and inspiring. It described a community in Paraguay which subsist by pillaging through trash looking for items to recycle or resell. One day, amongst all the trash, they discovered a violin. This discovery and its music became the inspiration to create many more musical instruments out of trash; astonishingly beautiful sounding instruments out of nothing but trash. Together with leadership, vision and training, the local teens with these instruments have started the landfillharmonic orchestra and their music is awe-inspiring.
This is an amazing story of human ingenuity and the human spirit, but it also a great analogy of what God does with our own lives. Take a look: http://vimeo.com/52711779
