P:C - Using What God has Given

I was a member of the group that went to a nursing home to sing each day. Each day we came in contact with very special people and great stories came from each time, but the nursing home we went to on the third day was extra special. I felt like the residents were extra open to us being there and were so very thankful for our gift of singing to them. We were even all able to have some kind of conversation with each resident, even though we spoke different languages. When it came time to leave, we gave fliers for the First Supper to the workers like have had always done. They couldn’t believe how much we were offering them. They were so blessed and really wanted to come to the First Supper. So that night one of the workers showed up at the tent, and she brought with her a bag full of chocolates – all different kinds – and she said that we had been such a blessing to her residents and to her that she wanted to think us. However, she still did not think that her gift was good enough and she continued to thank us over and over. It was just cool to see what can happen when we take the gifts that God has given us to bless others. We can really impact other lives for Christ!
