33 Sunday A: Talents: Gifted for Service


It's not only what you have got, but it's how we use what we have got - with love- that matters!


You Raise Me Up


Martin Hurkens is a baker by trade. In 2009 he lost his job in Holland.  Martin had been a baker for 35 years and had no trade outside of tending an oven and creating food delights in a commercial kitchen.

33 Sunday A - Talents


It's not only what you have got, but it's how we use what we have got - with love- that matters!


We have nothing to do with how much ability we've got, or how little, but with what we do with what we have. The man with great talent is apt to be puffed up, and the man with little (talent) to belittle the little. Poor fools! God gives it, much or little. Our part is to be faithful, doing the level best with every bit and scrap. And we will be if Jesus' spirit controls. 
S.D. Gordon, The Bent-knee Time.
