** USE What You Have ! ! **
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them. - Romans 12:6
A GROUP of animals decided to improve their general welfare by starting a school. The curriculum included swimming, running, climbing, and flying. The duck, an excellent swimmer, was deficient in other areas, so he majored in climbing and flying, much to the detriment of his swimming. The rabbit, a superior runner, was forced to spend so much time in other classes that he soon lost much of his famed speed. The squirrel, who had been rated "A" as a climber, dropped to a "C" because his instructors spent hours trying to teach him to fly. And the eagle could no longer to soar to the treetops because he had to learn how to swim.
WHAT happened to this group of animals portrays what often occurs in our churches. Romans 12: 1-8 teaches that we are all given certain gifts. But some of us serve in so many areas that our tasks are not done well. As a result, the whole church suffers.
IF God made you a teacher - be a teacher. Study diligently and do your best. IF He's given you the gift of mercy, serve cheerfully and don't expect others to do what you do. Accept your spiritual gifts. CULTIVATE your capabilities! Stop comparing. ENJOY being you.
Yes, USE what you have! - RWD
Be not always wanting
Some other work to do,
But cheerfully perform the task
That Christ has given you. - Anon.
DO WHAT YOU CAN, WHERE YOU ARE, WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. - Moody

** The CANDID Adventure of "Indy" CAT !!! **
THIS day is memorable LIKE all other days.. EXCEPT some days agree with me more than others!
My "hubby" got up at 7am. to attend a 'Men's Breakfast' at church (he said that it was okay). I stayed in bed then got up at 12.30pm. We both ate poached Eggs on Crumpets which we enjoyed for Lunch (my 'Brunch').
WE'VE been in our house now for two (2) years AND summise that we have ACCUMULATED more "things" than what we really need. Why does that happen?? With us - it's because we put ''stuff" away, then can't find it and THEN we forget all about it!
A SHIFT in house involves sooo much work in its sorting (ESPECIALLY when you become older in age). *2 years and it seems worse than ever.
It is a learning experience.
"Indy" cat is running around very closely to the wires of this computer AND it really will be a learning experience for HER if she UNPLUGS any connecting wires. She has done that before when she has had an attack of the "cat crazies".
It's a crazy world that we are living in. "INDY"....blah!
