Ministering to Others
Feeding the poor and clothing the hungry are important ministries. But so is the ability to write a moving eulogy or devotion, compose a beautiful hymn, or paint a glorious sunset. The ways in which God gifts us with the talent to touch souls are as infinitesimal as he is.
— from Sisterhood of Saints
What a comforting notion. My talents are not very high in any one category but, I have at least some in a few categories. Well, in the previous healthy-Marie world I did. Now, I hang on to just a smallish amount of those few but, above, I am assured that even the expression of those is a way to minister to others. Maybe I will get better at this writing thing and it will actually make a difference to somebody someday. That is my hope.
