Gifts in Action

As I was taking pictures today, I was taken by the thought of God's gifts. 

I get the privilege of standing behind the lens and watching God work through His people. The leadership used their gifts to train (and entertain) us, as well as challenge us to think outside the box. 

The servant attitude of the volunteer team caring for one another and coming together to prepare a place for the attendees encouraged my heart. It was really inspiring as I looked at each gift being shared - be it prayer or handicrafts or a hug or items donated by many generous hearts - and seeing them come together so that others will receive a gift in return. It was 1 Peter 4:10 in action - "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace..."
