This verse really hit me this morning....
"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." I Peter 4:10
Last Tuesday, I had several good friends go over to Mom and Dad's retirement village to help me entertain the resident's there. It's certainly not a "glamorous" gig, but I believe that when we follow this verse, using our "gifts" to serve others, and not just to help ourselves, then we are blessed beyond measure. There's nothing like serving others to help get yourself out of your own pity party!! :-)
Thank you to Deanie Richardson, Tim Buppert, Jon Vezner and Rick Huckaby for being so willing to share their gifts with Mom, Dad and their friends at Sycamores Terrace Retirement Community!! You guys ROCK!!! Love you all!!
God has given each of us unique talents and abilities to use for His Glory.... I pray you have the chance to use your's today!! :-)
... now, I gotta go exercise, which is NOT one of my talents, but I'm hanging on through my experiment of sticking with exercise for the entire month of April, to evaluate the benefits in my life. But that topic will have to wait until another posting!
HAPPY FRIDAY!!
