We have
different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.
Romans 12:6a (New International Version)
If you read my blog post on Friday, you may
remember that Hubby and I were going to paint the living room this weekend.
It’s taking longer than anticipated (imagine that!). We finished the ceiling
yesterday and plan to attack the walls today.
If you’ve read many of my past posts, you also
know that I voraciously snap pictures and my favorite theme is before, during
and after shots. Yes, they will be coming, but today I only have this one. Before
we started moving the furniture out of the way, I found my silly little Alice,
sitting there trying to decide if she wants to be a lion or a football player.
Just like Alice, I’ve often wondered what I
should be when I grow up, if I would ever achieve those lofty goals I had as a
kid. Or if I would have to accept my fate in life.
I think we can become anything we want to. But
I also think that it will be so much easier if we first turn our lives over to
God. He’s got it so much more together than we ever could. Let Him show us what
gifts He has given each us, gifts which will allow us to find our dreams and
reach them.
Heavenly Father, thank You for shaping each of us into
the person we are. Send Your Holy Spirit into our hearts and minds so we can
become what we are meant to be. Amen.
(And God, thank You for
giving me a career other than painting. You knew I’d never earn a living doing
that!)
