Talent to appreciate

by Elizabeth Price

 

Talent is marvellous.  People, using their gifts, are inspiring.  When they ply their skills, I have longed to be like them, but like a vast number of people, I was ‘behind the door’ when the talents were handed out.

 

A friend of mine, as she effortlessly hosted a superb luncheon for eight, laughingly disclaimed any talent.

 

She was wearing a jumper, knitted in a dining room she had decorated, and there was not so much as a wooden spoon out of place in her colour coordinated kitchen.  Her talents were so obvious I could not miss them, and they gave pleasure to everyone around her.

 

Through the hospitality and atmosphere she created, I could see why God said,

 

“His people are made in His image...”

Genesis 1:27

 

So show me God through the talents He has given you.  Perhaps we will find that being able to appreciate talent is a talent in itself!
