God given skills

Ex. 30, 31 [The Message]

One of my greatest joys when serving as Headmaster of Trinity Christian School was to observe the gifts and skills given to our students. There was no rhyme or reason as to who got what. A gift is as it is where you find it. The key is to recognize it and serve it … don’t try to change or frustrate it. For instance, it always broke my heart to see students who had a marvelous gift of music abandon that gift and instead pursue a sport they would NEVER achieve greatness in. My hope was always that they would eventually come back to using that gift and develop it. Some kids just naturally run like the wind. Others can produce a tone on an instrument that melts you, or sing like a canary.

Parents, their giftings and skills will become apparent. Work with God on that.
