We always love the gifts that we receive at Christmas. However, will we take care of the gifts that we receive? I had a story about a laptop that my uncle gave me. I was just using the laptop to do something, then I was going to the living room to do something. But then I tripped on the charger of my uncle's computer! The computer hit the floor and I was really scared, will it ever work again? My dad looked at the computer and did something to fix the laptop!
I was really relieved that the laptop was fixed, it would have been really sad to me if the laptop was broken. This story shows that you need to be careful of how you handle the gifts that your relatives and God has sent you. One example of God's gifts were the talents that he had gave you. If you just wanted to hide the gift that God has given you, then it would just be a waste. My dad and mom once told me when I was scared to play the piano in public that if I didn't want to show my gifts to the world, what would be the use of it? Be really thankful to God that he has given you some wonderful gifts in your life!
Prayer
Lord,
I thank you for the awesome gifts that you had given me in my life. Let me do my best to show my gifts to the world so I could give back to you my appreciation of those gifts. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.
1 Timothy 4:14
