The Gift of a thing learned

As a young person, I didn’t fully recognize the significance of the choices I was making at the time, whether they were decisions made, skills learned, or habits formed. Often, we don’t immediately feel the impact of how we spend our youth.

I never imagined that my food jobs would later equip me with the skills to make pizza for our weekly family nights (one of my favorite things to do). And who could have predicted that those golf lessons would eventually lead to special moments shared with friends at the driving range? How could I have known that watching my dad wake up each morning would make it easier for me to start that habit?

The reality is, we never know how all the inner workings of our past could be used to bless and serve others today. What are some of your gifts, talents, or skills that could be used to serve others?
