Last week I was up north. WAY up north in Minnesota der hey. I was visiting a few friends and was reminded that giving truly IS better than receiving.
Do you have a gift? Something you are good at? We all have something like that. The question is, do we share it? Do we use our gifts to serve others?
I have a friend who sews. She has a sewing machine and makes many of her own clothes. But what really makes her happy is using that gift to help others out. She alters wedding dresses and prom dresses for others who can't afford it. She makes quilts for those who have none. And she is blessed by it. It makes her feel good.
Sometimes gifts are less tangible. Like the gift of our time. Have you donated some of your time towards making someone else's life a little better? The Bible is pretty clear about what God wants us to do with our gifts.
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." - 1 Peter 4:10
As you go through your day, keep in mind the sharing of YOUR gifts. Use them whenever you can. Visit someone, bake some cookies and deliver them to a shut-in, make some chicken soup and take it to a friend who is sick.
"We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us." - Romans 12:6
Develop Your Gifts And Talents To Glorify Go
