Talents

This past summer I went to a concert outdoors in Maine with my son and his future wife Jessica. Young Dana loves to juggle especially to music. He makes balls move to the rhythm of the music. It is quite a talent. You can watch people start looking at my son while he juggles. In the picture you can see two young children that came over close every time he got up with his equipment.

We all have talents of one kind or another. Today in church the bishop spoke about using our talents and specifically the spiritual ones that God gives us so we can do more than we could ask for or imagine. The worst thing is to waste our talents. I believe God has a purpose for our lives and wants to use our natural and spiritual gifts and talents to benefit the world and His purpose for this world. Too often we use our talents only for our own benefit, and our purpose. Go out and serve, go out and help, go out and create a better world. It's time to stop blaming everyone else for what's wrong. It's time to accomplish what's right.
