GREAT GIFTS!

Well, the Christmas decor is almost all put away. A few things left to take down and store, but other than that, it's a done deal!

Christmas was as usual, stupendous!! Great food! Great fun! Great times! Great gifts!

Gifts.

We all got them.

At birth.

God doled them out.

You have them.

I've got a few.

Gifts.

What you are good at and with effort, have become great at.

My wife painted my office wall this past week. She has no training save for painting other peoples walls. She is great at it. My walls look like leather. She did this funky deal in a house in Enumclaw where she took crepe paper and treated it and stuck it on the walls and then painted it. It looks like some tricked out stone work. Amazing!!!!!

The point is this: she has worked very hard to perfect a gift that God gave her at birth. She is way good at it. But, she has been diligent to hone it and make it keen. But that is not her greatest gift. She is the most pleasant person I have ever been around. Her smile and ability to make the stranger feel accepted is by far her greatest gift. She is a great example to me!

So, you have some things you are good at, but are they your greatest gifts? What are they? Are you diligently perfecting them? Are you using them to help others? If you got it, flaunt it! Great gifts make great impacts!! Go for it!!

MTC!
