Hello, Friends. Thanks for coming by today. I don't have much time to be here today, but I didn't want to leave you without anything. So I decided to share some thoughts with you. Here we are, at the end of October, and the next two holidays just around the corner. Wow! Where did the year go? We had some changes in our family and I have no doubt that some of you, did as well. I think it is very fitting as Thanksgiving comes soon, that we are reminded that God has given us each at least one talent or gift that we can share with others. Maybe some talents are larger than others. Maybe mine is smaller than yours. But if given by God, each one is important to His Kingdom.
It reminds me of my mother who passed on to heaven in 1995. She loved people and although had many problems dealing with life over the years, she was always thinking of someone.
She had a lot of talent. (I joke occasionally that she took my share, lol) Two of her passions were her garden and yard sales. And she blessed others as she shared the two of them with her friends, acquaintances, and those she loved.
So she would go to the yard sales and pick up vases that were pretty and didn't cost much and take them home and when someone she knew needed a friend or she was just going to visit them, she would put a bouquet of her flowers in one and take it with her and give it as a gift to that person.
I have inherited some really pretty vases that she kept in her home always filled with the flowers she had tenderly cared for.
It seems such as a simple gift. And didn't cost her a lot of money. But she enjoyed it as much as the person receiving those flowers. And no doubt, it was her talent from her Father in heaven that loved her so.
No matter what He might have given you, or how small it might be, we all have a part to play in God's grand scheme of things. . And whatever talent He has given you, you can pass it on with the same love that she had.
And in the meantime, remember to thank Him for all He has done for you!
