Use Your Gifts from God for Good!
BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
1 Peter 4:10 states “as each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”
HOPE MESSAGE OF THE DAY
Hey! You got a notebook handy? I have an exercise I want you to do right now. Find a quiet spot. Grab a cup of coffee. Put that favorite pen in your hand. Without pause and without a lot of thought, write down 5 things you love to do. Ready, set, go…..
FIVE THINGS I LOVE TO DO….

Now, for each thing you love to do, write down one way you could use that love of yours to help someone else! Here is an example, I love to give gifts. So, one thing I love to do is give small gifts to unexpected recipients in hopes of making them feel special! It is so much fun!! Or, I love to read the Bible in a year! So, combining both of these loves, I hand out Bibles as often I can to anyone interested in reading. Before Let God, Let Go, and Let’s Go, I knew I enjoyed giving gifts especially Bibles, but I took for granted the importance of using my gifts to share the love of God with others. Once Let God, Let Go, and Let’s Go formed, I knew that using my gifts from God to love others and reflect God’s love to them through my actions was not insignificant at all, but rather it was God’s definition of success for my life. Can I even begin to explain how life altering that simple concept was for me? And it can be for you too!!
ORGANIZATIONAL TIP OF THE DAY
I am always on the look out for cute gifts with impactful meaning! I have a special place designated in my house for collecting these adorable items that I can have on hand for a special occasion or even a slight emergency! Like when your husband tells you we will be stopping by a retirement party on the way home from work two hours before it starts! If you know what I mean! I also keep a box full of assorted cards - invaluable! Who doesn’t love a surprise gift now and then! I know I do! In my Blessed Buys and Faithful Finds, I will share with you little gifts I love! Hopefully you will too!
