We all have some God-given talent

Hmmm....let's see.....can't carry a tune in a bucket so that rules out singing. Can't grow a garden because of these black thumbs of mine so that's out although I have managed to get 2 boys to grow...lol! Can't sew except maybe a button back on a shirt but even that's rare and most time DH does it. I'll have to think on this some more.

I sing. I used to sing in contests, at weddings and funerals, etc. I was in different choirs, and won ribbons in high school at both district and state levels.

I write short stories. I love having a day to myself where I can just sit and write. I used to do short fluff pieces for a local newspaper, too.

Nothing that will ever make me famous, but good enough for local notice.

So c'mon ladies! I know you all have talents. Dont be shy... God wants you to enjoy and celebrate them!

I dont know I cant sing or play an instrument if my life depended on it, i have heard people say "you got talent" but cant remember the reason why they did LOL
I do enjoy sewing, but have to be in the mood, i like to mix different fabrics, and work with colors, ribbons, and all the pretty stuff.

And Sheryl, you dont know? Let me help you here, now what about those amazing cards you make

Oh I forgot about the cards Mandy. LOL. Trust me, if you looked in books those people creating those cards are the one's w/ the talents. I HAVE to use their books for ideas and inspiration. It just doesn't "come" to me if you will.

But thanks.

Even by getting the ideas from books, you still hand make them, so there, to me thats talent

I can sing. I sing solos at church quite often. In fact, our pastor's wife asked me to sing for the Easter Sunrise Service, but I'm not sure because you have to get up VERY early to be there. I know that there's better singers than me, but I still love to sing and I don't mind getting up in front of people to do it.

I'm a pretty good cook when I try. I'm fairly creative. In fact, I have curtains that I'm going to make soon. I'll post a picture of them when I get them done. I'm also a good hostess and we often have groups from church over to the house.

We all have so many talents we just don't recognize them as talents. I have a daughter who is soooo creative. She just amazes me at what she can do. She's a great cook and a wonderful Mom. As I said, she amazes me!!!

You shouldn't have to dig too deep to think of something! Come on girls!!!!

This is a hard one. I think my talent is being able to visualize. I mean, I see something in my head and can half way draw it out and make it. I made my son a stool when he was little so he could brush his teeth. It had a back to it and when you pulled the back forward to the floor, it made two steps. So in reality he had a little chair and a two-step stool. I love to do woodworking and can think of my own designs.

I also like to sing, my family likes it so I guess I'm not too bad and I like to sew clothes for the doggies.
