Gifts Are For Sharing
Did you realize that YOU are made in the image and likeness of God with special gifts and talents that make you ONE of a kind? So, do think God wants you to keep your gifts all to yourself? I think NOT!
One of the things that you are taught while preparing for Confirmation is that there are 7 "Gifts of the Holy Spirit". God gives you these gifts to help you live as a disciple. Part (1) Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit
CLICK HERE and read the article "Gifts of the Holy Spirit". (when you are finished reading the article...click on your 'back' arrow in the upper left corner on your computer to return to this page.)
Then... (A) Comment on something that "spoke to you" (something you agreed with, disagreed with, or maybe you didn't understand). (B) Chose one of the 'Gifts' and give an example of how someone you know used that gift. (Or an example of using it yourself) Along with these Gifts, God has given you talents that He expects you to use. What are your talents? Are you artistic, a good listener, athletic, a "handyman", etc.? Sometimes God puts desires in your heart....something He wants you to work on (helping someone, becoming a teacher, a mentor, maybe a priest or nun, mother, father, doctor, writer, or maybe an inventor....(watch video below) PART 2: What Are YOUR Gifts & Talents After reading the article and REALLY THINKING about what your talents and gifts are, please list at least 3 of YOUR gifts or talents. (the "gift/talent" can be from the article or something that you know about yourself) Please remember to use your # in your comment. Think about how you can use these gifts/talents when you do your project. When you present your project you must be able to tell me how you are using YOUR gifts/talents. PART 3: POWER OF PRAYER Click on the following links www.loyolapress.com/retreats/pentecost-sunday-start-retreat post something that spoke to you about this prayer on the 'COMMENTS S1' http://powerofone20101.blogspot.com/ then follow all directions and post your answers on the 'COMMENTS S1' page (the same as for parts 1 & 2 above) |

Remember you never now what you can do unless you GO FOR IT! It is better to have tried and failed than to never try at all... and maybe you will be a GREAT SUCCESS !!
