The Gift That Keeps on Giving

The gift that keeps on giving… 


Have you ever noticed that most folks have a thing or 2 that they are really good at and then some other things they are not so good at? 


Michael Jordan is probably one of the best, if not the best ever to play basketball, but he was an “OK” baseball player. 


There are quite a few famous and successful actors and actresses that cannot sing. 


I am pretty good with people, but tools and handyman stuff are like a foreign language to me. 


The point is that each of us has a God given skill that is a talent, and it is a spiritual principle that we should share it with others. 


Had Michael Jordan decided against playing ball after he was cut from his high school team, the world would have never got to enjoy his immense talent and passion for the game. 


We need to share our talents in an effort to help others. 


How’s that working out for you?.. 


Check your experience… 


“Giving, rather than getting, will become the guiding principle.” Big Book 128 


Lord, let us use the gifts and talent You have given us to help others, AMEN. 


“There are different kinds of gifts. But it is the same Holy Spirit Who gives them. There are different kinds of work to be done for Him. But the work is for the same Lord. There are different ways of doing His work. But it is the same God who uses all these ways in all people. The Holy Spirit works in each person in one way or another for the good of all.” 1 Corinthians 12: 4-7 


Have a blessed day Y’all!
