Serving With Your Gifts

What a long day!!!

I spent 12 hours today at the church. I left home at 9am, taught a dance class, did my usual every day work, choreographed a dance for our upcoming concert, helped prepare food for our mens event tonight, took another dance class for an ill teacher, took part in a ballet class, looked after a couple of kids while their parents were busy and then helped tidy up after the mens event... LONG DAY!

It made me think more about "serving" God. A majority of what I did today I did for the church. I was serving God with the gifts that He has given me. It made me think again about how many people have gifts but don't use them. God gifted me with the ability to dance, and the ability to bake and to be hospitable. Who am I to keep these to myself? Sometimes these gifts require us to put in some hard work, they require time but when we use the gifts God has given us we are blessing others and sharing His love. 

After spending 12 hours at the church, I am not worn out, my feet are sore from standing up so much but I still feel like I could continue doing it. This is how it is when we do God's work. He gives us all the strength we need so we do not feel tired, He helps us get through it all no matter how hard or long we are working. 

Thankful for: Gifts

I don't been physical gifts and presents, but the gifts God has given us. We all have them, some are more easily determined than others but they are there. These gifts help us to be the people we were meant to be.
