Talents

Here is my massage room that I have in our upstairs apartment that we rarely use. It's nice because it's quiet and a great room to receive a massage. I still need to do some decorating touch-ups before I really get the business going. I look forward to getting the word out.

Having it be Christmas soon I think of all the wonderful gifts that we exchange with one another as family and friends but mostly what kind of gifts we exchange with God. And as I was able to teach the Young women on Sunday we were able to talk about this and what gifts Heavenly Father has given us,which are our Talents. We are to exchange them with each other to help build his kingdom here on earth. I also shared the importance of having a desire to discover new gifts and talents that Heavenly father has blessed us with.

Well, the following Tuesday the girls were able to attend with us our Relief Society enrichment night where they sang and were able to auction off their services of talents to help others. It was really a wonderful experience to take part of teaching them and then witnessing what I taught go into action. I felt it was important for me to be an example and so I offered up my services to do a full body massage and Danielle Boyett won it with all of her 497 points. yaa! This special night made me reflect on all my gifts and talents that Heavenly father has blessed me with and how important it is for me to share them as well as discover them.

As for right now, I know from my patriarchal blessing God has blessed me with the gift of laughter and spirituality and a true honest devotion to his church but he also mentioned to me other special gifts that I am to nurture and magnify. So I really have reflected on my gifts and feel that I need to utilize them more by just laughing more, praying more and studying the scriptures more. So far I have discovered that I have the gift to listen and understand, to heal through massage, the eye for photography, crafts, designing, decorating, art, organizing, being creative & instinctive with ideas of fixing something, accounting money, selling something, making others laugh, Oh yeah! and giving birth to 8 pound babies.(That counts)

Well if there is anything else that I did not mention that you may feel I have. Let me know.
Thanks!
