Talents

Every person has been blessed with various gifts and talents.  The key word in the last sentence is various.  I have spent my few years of life watching people and the things that they are gifted and able to do.  There are a lot of people that thoroughly amaze me!
I want you to take a minute and think of the things that you are good at.  Maybe it is hard for you to do because many of you have been blessed with humility, but I want you to do this simple exercise.
Take your number one gift or talent and break down in your mind why it is the top ranked.  Now that you have decided that part, think of the ways that your gift blesses and enriches the lives of other people.  If it currently does not bless the life of someone else then you ought to go to the 'drawing board' and figure out a way that you can use it to bless another.
When I was a young boy, I longed to have the best handwriting in the class.  I had a teacher, Mrs. Prince who encouraged me to stretch for that goal.  I worked very hard on this and ultimately, got to the point where I felt like my handwriting skill should be.  That was very simple but important nonetheless.
Our gifts and talents are heaven sent and I try hard to remember that every day of my life.
