1 Corinthians 12:4-6 There are different
kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There
are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working,
but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
She walked into the nail salon yesterday wearing olive drab
and black combat boots with a service weapon strapped to her leg and all sorts
of accessories attached to her belt. Her arm patch said Atlanta Police
Department. She said she wanted her eyebrows waxed. I tried not to giggle because it just struck
me as somewhat incongruous. I didn’t
want to be sexist. I knew that in
civilian clothes without all the hardware she would be an even more attractive
woman. I really admire men and women who step out of traditional roles and
follow their calling. We all do have
different skills and gifts. We’ll be most fulfilled when we can use those gifts
to earn a living and also use those gifts to serve Jesus Christ. How are you doing with this?
Gracious God, thank you for our gifts and talents. We ask
for opportunities to use them to bring us an abundant life and to serve
you. Guide us in all we do. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Blessings,
Paige
