List your talents! I challenge you!

Have you thought about the things you know how to do in a fresh light?

Recently I took several Lanyards to C.R.S. ST. Luke's hospital. I had a lovely woman come and seek me out. She addressed me so sweetly and asked me to bring them back on Thursday (payday). I sold one gave one to Dash Hawk's therapist and as I was leaving went back into the Lab and placed on on a womans neck who admired it . I have 15 of them completed. I spent 9 hours to make them. I will charge only $10. for them so that they might be able to be affordable.
Our talents are a "ministry" to the world around us. These same Lanyards would cost $20 easily, but thats not the point. It is brings beauty into the world. You bring beauty into the world. I have a friend who quilts, one who writes and another who crochets. One who is an advocate , one who scrap books, sew, beading another who cooks. One who pray actually several. There are so many talents that we dismiss and diminish.
Running a home, raising great kids, Talents are not just the "arts" they are the everyday things that we are under valuing because we have been taught too under value them in this culture.
During the time of cottage industry we learned the value of such talents and abilities. We treasured each other and even appreciated and treasured our own abilities.

List your talents!!!!!!!!! and post them.

Celebrate your talents and unearth them. Invest them and bring the beauty of who you are into this gloomy world.

Awe, its not so gloomy! Think of the smiles of joy your kids give you freely. Think of your husband holding you tight. Think of the cool breeze coming from an air conditioner that works on a hot summer day. Think of; well, you get the point...

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
