Are you using the gifts that God gave you? Each of us has special gifts from God but not everyone chooses to use them. Many times we are just too busy going about our day to day lives to focus on our special gifts.
As I went to take these photos of the flowers I grew, I noticed that the lens was cloudy. It was that way because I took the camera from inside in the AC to outside where it was about 85 deg. As I went to take the first photo, I noticed it. I was about to completely clean the lens but then I realized that it would make a pretty photo to only partially clear it. So that is what I did.
God gave me the ability to grow things like these flowers. I know that it is a God given gift because not everyone can grow things. For some reason, it comes easy to me.
I also have a knack for arranging the flowers so that is what I did. We will sell them at the market this weekend if the weather holds out.
So focus on your talents and use those gifts that God has given you. It will make you and Him happy.
Have a Blessed day,
Greg

Great Pictures Greg, I can kind of grow things, but that is not my God given talent. I would have to say eating chips and salsa everyday would be it!
ReplyDeleteHa!
Can you come over and grow some flowers like that here? I don't think our temperate zone would allow it living in the desert.
Greg,
ReplyDeleteOK officially envious and like Steve stated above we are managing to grow some beautiful roses and lavender and that is about it for our desert environment. You know I can't just stop by here and not leave you with no joke for the day, so here it is.
Q. How are A's and flowers alike??
A. B's always come after them!
By the way, if you need more to laugh at stop by my blog today for Friday Funnies!

Gorgeous, Greg! It really is a gift. Sometimes I think I'm utilizing my gift, other times, not so much. It's something I think about, though. Enjoy your day off.
