God has blessed me with gifts yet I take them for granted or to be something used only for me.  He gave me gifts to share with His other children.  I remember as a child my mother would tell me to share my things and not to be selfish.  I guess I should have listened more to her, because I still horde the gifts God has given me.  <\/p>\n<p>Application: I need to realize the gifts I have were given to me by my heavenly Father and they are to be used and not stored away or used every once in a while.
