What
are your gifts?
If
you ever wonder what your purpose is in this life consider your
gifts. Your gifts lead to your purpose. Some people know early on in
life what their gifts are. They are the lucky ones. The rest of us go
through life trying to figure that one out.
WE
are born with gifts. Some of our gifts become more apparent over time
and through our interactions. There are so many possible gifts any
one of us may have I love to name the ones that come into my mind
quickly. Gifts include the gift of listening, the gift of humor, the
gift of storytelling, the gift of making music, the gift of movement,
the gift of language, the gift of teaching, the gift of asking
questions, the gift of optimism, the gift of observation, the gift of
independent thinking, the gift of patience, the gift of focus, the
gift of leadership, the gift of curiosity, the gift of being open
minded, the gift of a green thumb, the gift of design, the gift of
service, the gift of art, the gift of connecting the dots, well the
list goes on and on as to our gifts. There are those gifts we can
only discover with age. The gift of aging gracefully.
Our
gifts are our passion and passion leads to purpose. Purpose gives
life meaning. If we are blessed to use our gifts as a way to earn a
living, wow, there's gratitude.
So
when you ask, what am I to be when I grow up?, ask yourself to name
your gifts and the answer will come.
Loved it! So true! Over the years I've come to recognize I have several gifts and they actually interact thereby moving me toward my purpose in this life. I've also come to a peaceful place in my life in that while I continue to develop my gifts, I wait patiently on the Lord to reveal His will in their use. This peace sure beats the stress and anxiety that came from trying to force a purpose. :)
