Recently have you been aware of your gifts? Can you share what gifts you have been given?
For example, I am aware I have the gift of justice, compassion and listening.
Today we celebrate Pentecost. The remembering when the Holy Spirit came down upon the apostles as Jesus had promised.
In todays reading St. Paul mentions that there are a variety of gifts given to each of us for the purpose of service to others. This means these gifts are not for us alone but for service to others.
On some days I am sure we really dont feel like being of service to anyone. At these times we need to ask the Holy Spirit to come and strengthen us and refresh us.
Tomorrow we celebrate Memorial day a day in which we remember those who gave their lives that we may be free to give our gifts for others.
Come Holy Spirit and strengthen us, fill our hearts with the Love of God that we can do what each of us can do to make this world a better world.
May we realize we all have gifts, different but all the same for the good of all. No one gift is better than the other.
May we realize we all have gifts, different but all the same for the good of all. No one gift is better than the other.
The greatest gift is to lay down ones life that others may have life
