In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.  (Romans 12:6a  NLT)

Have you thought about giving yourself a gift?  One of the training classes I was at, for a volunteer position I was in, spoke about having bad days --> give yourself a pick-me-up gift.  If you are having a great day --> give yourself a celebration gift.  A friend, in the same training I was in, agreed our 'celebration gift' was ice cream!  This is an interesting idea!  Sometimes to stop, take time for us, is the gift we can give ourselves.

God has given us, "in his grace," different gifts.  Each of us can do something that is special do us.  Yes, I quilt - like a LOT of other people - but I can do it as time with God, time in prayer and to give as gifts.  I will even admit that the gift I give myself, on occasion, is something to do with quilting (or knitting).  I might, although it doesn't happen often, is to actually make something for me.

​What gift has God given you - that you love to do?  How is it you spend time with God?  Can you give yourself a gift?  Some things to think about.
