2009) I arrive at school very early. I am much more alive and awake in the morning, but in the afternoons, not so much.  

There are rarely any other staff members at school when I arrive other than a custodian and lunchroom supervisor and cook. About an hour after I arrive, there is another staff member who shows up and I’ll often see her working on bulletin boards in hallways and entranceways. She will often decorate for holidays, as well.  

This woman is truly gifted in these things and when she doesn’t know I’m looking, I will often see her smile as she works. She is using her God-given gifts and we all are benefiting from them.  

1 Peter 4:10 tells us we all have been given gifts, and we are to use them to serve others and God.  

Do you know what your gifts are and how are you using them for him?
