Talents

We are all individuals that have talents and gifts that are mutually beneficial to each other. We are a community that depends on one another to survive. We can not make it on our own. No man is an island. Our gifts, qualities, faculties, and talents differ according to the grace that God has given us.

We are here for such a time as this. We reflect God's glory when we use our talents. When we use our gifts we are transforming into the likeness and Spirit of God. We are representative of who we are called to become. God realizes our need before we ask. We do not all grow in the same way and at the same time, but we are growing in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

As we grow we give patience, love and space to each other because we love each other and want the very best situation and conditions for one another. We acknowledge that we don't have dominion over each other and we respect one another's faith and the depth of that faith. We understand that we are all laborers seeking joy and faith by standing firm in the Word. We promote no individual agenda but the Word of God and the Spirit of God rests within us.

I pray that if you have time within these next two weeks, specifically on Monday, June 8th, that you will consider giving me an hour of your time and talking to my sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. I did call once and I know you never return my calls, so I will try again today, but maybe if you have an hour or even an half an hour you could encourage, uplift and remind them of who they are before they break for the summer.

Be blessed and be a blessing to someone today.
