Many of us have never stopped to think what our real talents & gifts are. Or we may think that we know what they are but we believe that to acknowledge them is to show undue pride. Either of these approaches may hold us back from the fullness of life to which we are called. It is part of the adult life of faith, however, to recognize what skills & capabilities God has blessed us with, & then decide, in gratitude, to use those gifts to help build God’s kingdom here on earth.
