One of a kind

I live in Utah, which is a unique state all its own, that said, one thing cool about it is that fireworks are legal on another day besides July 4th. Yup, July 24th. It is a state holiday. I joined a friend this evening for the fireworks. It crossed my mind how each of them are the same "species" and yet they are all unique. Some go higher than others. Some barely make it off the ground while others sore high and spread out. They are all beautiful in their own unique way. None are the same. Truly. They may be made with the same compounds and the desired outcome is X, but no two are the same. So it is with us humans. We are all the same species, yet some are born, receive a body and return to their maker, and some live a long time. Some feel like they just go through life and do not make much of a difference. One thing that I noticed this evening while watching the fireworks is that every one of them has a purpose and all of them add to the beautiful display that lights up the night sky and everyone can enjoy. How much different would the display have been if one of them had not been included? How different would life be without the influence that you or I have had on those around us? Just some food for thought.
