GIVING of Yourself

Giving… Giving what?  Giving tithes maybe what most of us think about when it comes to church.  There are other ways of giving along with tithes and offerings.  We each have a gift.  A spiritual gift given by the Holy Spirit.  These can be used by us as Christian’s to help and give to others.

As each had received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of Gods varied grace.

1 Peter 4:10

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same spirit,

and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord,

and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God

Who empowers them all in Everyone.

1 Corinthians 12:4-6

For me, as most have seen; I have written about Psalm 23 and Hebrew 3.  I’m shy so that’s how I share.  I paint rocks with pictures or verse references and hand them out.  I just love to help and take care of others and do things for people.

I’m sure we’ve all wondered what gift the Holy Spirit gave us.  I know I have.

So what are your gifts of giving?   The gift of:

* listening

* speaking and or teaching Gods word

* visiting

* volunteering

* giving a small gift to brighten someone’s day, even if it’s a painted rock.

* helping clean the church

* praying for others

And there are many other gifts that we each have.  There not all the same, but we do have one.

 Think about it.  You may already know and just haven’t realized it.  Don’t let a gift that was given to you by the Holy Spirit go to waste. 

God bless.     Donna Dagnan
