Friday Updates Nov. 8th
What is talent?
Is it something of natural ability and skill, something that one can work on to master? Have you ever asked yourself if you can use all of your talents to glorify God or is there a protocol for what can be used to glorify His name?
Today in class, I asked the 6th graders if they thought that being good with money management was a talent and their hands were divided. We then read and acted out "The Parable of the Talents" from Matthew 25:14-30. We giggled at the acting and even voted on which servant we would most likely agree with. Our discussion continued with knowing that God loans us many things: time, money, resources and talents. It is our responsibility to recognize and use these talents to glorify God.
So, I ask again-what are your talents? Are you a good listener? Do you have the knack of organization? Does baking come easy to you? Are you good with handling money? Are you living your life according to all the talents God has given you?
The best way to know if you are using your talent God gave you is if it is planted in a place where it can thrive and begins to bear fruit. Then it is our job to return that fruit back to the owner, Jesus Christ.
