Hello, Elegant Lovelies,
First off I wanted to say that my heart goes out to the Bryant Family, the Altobelli Family, the Mauser Family, the Chester Family, and the Zobayan Family who lost their loved ones in a helicopter crash Sunday morning. I will keep each family in my prayers and intercede for them. I was starting a new piano study yesterday when my hubby told me about the horrible and shocking news. No words could express my sadness. When a tragedy like this occurs; it does not matter that I am not a big basketball fan. What matters these people’s lives will never be the same.

I felt that this needed to be a different kind of post from me today. When I was in church on Saturday my pastor said that God’s call on our life is to make a contribution. That contribution needs to be in our family, the people we work with, the people in our neighborhood, or the other people in our own world. But how do we make that contribution? God has placed gifts and talents inside of us to help others.
Our contribution can come on a basketball court with the whole world watching, or it can be in a local church group with only a handful of people around you. God wants you to make a difference with what you are doing. God gave you your gifts and talents not for you to enjoy for yourself, but to help other people.
No matter what the gift or talent is that God has placed inside of you, it is important to Him. What you may think of as being something small can make a big difference in someone’s life. Never diminish what God has placed inside of you. Something as simple as a positive attitude and a warm smile can break the walls down in someone else’s life.
What are your gifts and talents and how are you helping others with them?
