Spiritual Gifts...

I have been thinking a lot lately about spiritual gifts. I have taken several "tests" over the years that are supposed to reveal to me my gifts. Well...I still have no idea.

However, it does seem easy though to figure out what spiritual gifts other people have. This was discussed briefly at TPCC during Wednesday night bible study. So this has caused me to think about it even more. Because of all this "thinkin'" (as we say in the South) I had the opportunity to talk about spiritual gifts with Joseph (praise the Lord for homeschool!!!). We discovered that his spiritual gift is compassion. He was so excited to discover his gift. It really is fitting for him, too. Joseph has such a love for people and cares about how they are feeling. Often he seeks out opportunities to help someone or to comfort someone that he thinks is hurting. He becomes concerned for other children when he hears them crying or if they seem upset. And he loves others so deeply. It's such an amazing thing to be on this journey with him as he learns about God and how He is moving in his life. Joseph is also starting to understand the greatest gift of all--salvation. I can see that this year is going to be fun (even if I am still working on discovering my gifts)!!!
