Gifts from God

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.”

I Corinthians 12:4-6

Father God, thank you for sharing your gifts with each one of us. Keep our attitudes toward our gifts pure, Lord. Let us not become proud because we perceive our gifts as better than others. By the same token, let us not feel small and insignificant because we perceive the gifts of others as more important than our own. Help us to remember that each gift is just that, a gift from our heavenly father who knows how to give good gifts. Lord, show us how to use those gifts for your glory.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
