Using your talents

I have just finished reading a great story on the internet. It is the story of two people who went to the gulf coast to "clean up pictures that could be saved, made digital copies and hand-restored photos back to their grateful owners". Why? They had two reasons... one was to "do something we do every day in our jobs, and here you're face-to-face with the subjects and victims of this tragedy. and second, "We can help and we can reap the reward of doing something valuable for another human being". I have a feeling that is what God desires of us. Take what our skills and gifts are and use them for His purpose. It is easy to do what comes naturally to help others. It is a choice we make whether we use our talents to bless others. If you have special talents and gifts you want to offer up to God and bless others, take that step of faith and do it. You will reap the reward.
