Gifts Prepared and Presented

"Prepared gifts cannot serve their purpose unless they are presented gifts." ~ Priscilla Shirer

I am tired lately. I have been busy and burning the midnight oil. It is not a good combination. I have something on almost every night this week. I still struggle with the divine line of presenting my gifts so that they may serve their purpose and caring for the temple that holds these gifts. This post will be short because tonight I am going to opt for caring for the temple.

Tonight I was at a meeting that is examining prison ministry in Manitoba and I was giving the information about the various aspects of this work that my parish offers. The discussions were good. Why do I do the work that I do? What calls me or draws me to it? What gifts does one need for prison ministry? Where this committee goes may be very exciting news for those who do this volunteer and paid work. The benefits I suspect will extend to the inmates and those who work in the institutions. Who knows what the gifts presented are preparing!

When was the last time you presented your gifts in service?

Peace,

Suzanne
