May I share?? We are all unique. “Each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace” (1 Peter 4:10). Here are four pretty simple things to remember about these gifts that have been given from the One who gives the gifts: 1. Everyone has been given gifts—including me and you. No one has been left out. 2. Your gifts are different from others. 3. All gifts He gives are equally good because God doesn’t give junky gifts, so. . . 4. It’s a total waste of time wishing and whining and complaining that you had someone else’s gifts and for heaven’s sake (literally) stop comparing yourself to others. If you don’t remember these four things, you’ll end up feeling downright cheated and angry and frustrated and miserable and grumpy and ungrateful for your life and what God has given you. Be happy. There is no one quite like you. Prayer: Lord, thank you that you have given me exactly the gifts I need to do what you have called me to do. I lack no good or necessary thing. Amen.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." John 14:1-4

We were all set to resume choir practice on Wednesday evening at 6:00 PM - Then - we listened to the weather forecast. Let's wait one more week, it's supposed to be bitterly cold and nasty. I'd like the choir, each one in one complete healthy piece - so no rehearsal on Wednesday. We'll meet prior to service on Sunday, as we have for the past couple of weeks, and prep something for the morning worship. Be safe. Be warm. Be in tune! FloAnn
