of lists

I like making lists. Somehow it gives me satisfaction to see that I have organized my multitude of things to do by putting them down on paper. Never mind that I usually don't follow my list and to be honest I don't often make lists. I only make them when I have so much to do that making a list is more fun then doing the work.

All this to say I made a list today. Not on paper, but a mental list of all the things I couldn't do. The things that I was not gifted in, but it would seem so many around me do have those talents.

 Some have the prevlidge of serving in music, and me well I can play one song not very perfectly with one hand. There are those who turn out a master piece of a paper and don't even bother to proof read. My writing appears that I wrote in a very frazzled state at 5 am. The truth is I painstakingly proof read it several times.

Making a list is a good way to start a pity party and a even better way to forget all about the many God has gifted me in.

God will let you use what He has given you and you will find joy in it. God will give grace to do all the things that are not a natural inclination.

Isn't God just faithful like that?

Today I'm thankful for a friend who reminds me of what I have forgotten.
