\"Hannah

Hannah making unbelievable music with her fingertips.<\/p><\/div>\n

Haunting, soothing, peaceful, soft to the ear and churning to the soul.\u00a0 Her fingers gliding across the ivory keys, fingertips gently caressing each ebony.\u00a0 Hanging in the air the music fading from our ears but would be seared into my heart for a lifetime.\u00a0 The applause broke the silence of completion.\u00a0 Standing,\u00a0bowing with the slightest most subtle smile stretched out upon her pursed lips that held back\u00a0 the braces of the teen.<\/p>\n

We are all given different gifts. To some the gift of writing for others to witness a new perspective.\u00a0 To others speaking words of comfort and kindness.\u00a0 To others the ability to teach and set little minds a fire for learning.\u00a0 To Hannah the gift of music.\u00a0 A music that dances on my soul that penetrates straight through the awkwardness of the teenage years. \u00a0A music\u00a0that unites her with all who had the luxury of being a part of that sound,\u00a0 peace and music.\u00a0 Thank you Hannah for sharing “The Dream Catcher” one of your special talents with us all.<\/p>\n

“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit;\u00a0\u00a0<\/em> To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.\u00a0 To one is given through the Spirit the expression of wisdom; to another the expression of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit;\u00a0 But one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing them individually to each person as he wishes.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 1 Corinthians 12:4-11<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We each have a gift to give it was given to us by God.\u00a0 It is very difficult at times to figure out what that gift is and sometimes even to believe that we really have a gift.\u00a0 Everyone has it not just those that know it and use it.\u00a0 EVERYONE has a gift.\u00a0 Reflect on that idea today and say a little prayer to God that He helps you to know what gift is yours.\u00a0 I bet if you ask your child today what you as “Mom” do the best he\/she can tell you pretty quickly some of your gifts.\u00a0 Our children can recognize the good in us that we often fail to see.\u00a0 So ask your child and instead of denying it say thank you give him\/her a hug and accept that it is one of your many gifts.\u00a0 God created YOU<\/strong> with a unique set of qualities and gifts to give to the world. It is up to You<\/em> to figure out what those gifts are and how to use them and give them back to the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
