Gifts

Well, my thoughts are racing and I am not sure what to do .....this week has been quite busy already for me and now I have added something to my small mind to think on.....and so I thought I might share it with you and see what your thoughts are..... my week has been full of regular work and also on teaching at Horizons (a little thing FHU does each year....maybe you have heard of it) Anyway-- my subject that I was assigned was Growing up in Love with myself.. so I have taught for two days so far and one of the things I have asked these young girls is what are your special gifts?? So far NOBODY has said they had any? I mean seriously they have not felt they had any great special gift....wow! That makes me somewhat sad?? that makes me somewhat afraid??? and that makes me feel like somehow we have not being training our girls to realize their gifts. I have told them all they do-- definitely have special gifts.....and I have told them that they may not yet know what they are but to search for them. To know that He has given us all things that are for us!!!! THINGS we can do to make a difference....things that we can do to change lives and make this temporary home better.... Gifts are great-- they can be simple or they can be grand..... but they do inspire us and they are in each of us. Search for your gift.... I told them that one simple one that I have is that I don't mind at all standing in front of a group of young girls and letting them laugh at me or learn from me...it is their choice and I am sure they do both sometimes....but search for that gift...it is there-- use it and share it.
