Each of us has something to offer others. Your offering is most likely not the same as that of the person next to you. That doesn't make what you bring less valuable, it makes it more valuable. Knowledge, experience, energy, discernment, strength. God calls each of us to humbly offer the gift He has given us, in order that together we might reflect His wisdom and accomplish His purposes in the world. How has God gifted you? How can you share it with others so that God is glorified?
The glory of the young is their strength; the gray hair of experience is the splendor of the old.- Proverbs 20:29 Prayer: Lord, thank You for gifting each of us differently. Help us to value one another's gifts, as well as our own. Most importantly, help us learn to humbly offer what you have given us in ways that will benefit others and accomplish Your purposes. In Jesus' name, amen.
Your talent is
Gods gift to you.
What you do with it is your gift back to God.

Let's rally as a community of believers and raise our brothers and sisters in prayer...... let us pray for
Jack Eggenberger's father, Bill Eggenberger, who is needing our prayers for comfort, strength & peace, for his mother Lois and the family too. Bill is very ill with an advanced cancer.
O Saint Peregrine, please be with Bill, Jack's father, to comfort and ease him as he faces this cancerous disease that can destroy the very fiber of our being. Please by your intercession grant Bill strength and peace, and we shall sing praise to God for His great goodness, grace and mercy. Amen.
