When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me’.  –Erma Bombeck

Life often amazes me. I guess as I get older I look back more often on my life and think about where I have been and what I have done. I frequently say “Wow” when I do because I have been abundantly blessed. Although I am not worthy, God has watched over me.

I hope that I have used the talents I have been given the right way and “used everything” like Erma Bombeck said.

The best way to determine if we are using our talents and gifts in the right way is to pray about it. God has a way of redirecting us if we sway from his path – and we must keep the lines of communication open with God by praying and reading the Bible every day.

James 1:17 (NIV)
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Have a great week!
