Diversities of gifts

Have you ever felt you weren't quite getting it? Maybe everybody else around you is in sync, and that makes it worse.

It's all right. Each of us is unique. God has given each of us has different talents. Not everyone is meant to be a teacher or an auto mechanic or an accountant or a baker. We are each meant to find what we're good at doing, and to delight in doing it well.

I'm sure this little girl will get her talents figured out too. I love the kindness of her teacher. "It's OK," she says, "if you shoes aren't doing it (the first position in ballet class)."





"There is a variety of gifts, but always the same Spirit; there are all sorts of service to be done, but always to the same Lord; working in all sorts of different ways in different people, it is the same God who is working in all of them."
(I Corinthians 12:4-6. Jerusalem Bible)
