W...Hmmm, Silvia always say things better than I...<br /><br />We have just finished up a series of sermons on gifts at church, based on the controversial chapters in 1 Corinthians. I too have been pondering this very issue, and have come to the same conclusion. In teaching God's small people we are using our gifts to further his kingdom and bring glory to him, and that, after all is what it is all about, not measuring our deeds by the measure of the world and their magnificence to men.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, friend.<br /><br />PS Your Bible sounds lovely.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573473465011631325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8173453322997227658.post-30964726564078511682010-04-07T13:50:57.293-04:002010-04-07T13:50:57.293-04:00Ellen, what a beautiful post to read.

The magnanimous is that wise person that has no problem in doing small (and I add unseen) tasks with humility and devotion. (I'm paraphrasing). And I remember a lesson were we were told that God's wisdom (and men and women TRULY WISE) are those who serve Him in humility, no more no less.<br />We believe our talents or deeds are measured in grandeur as you say, by how the world regards them, but our talents are being used as you say. I also teach the children at church, and when we correct our kids, feed them, read the Scriptures to them, we are making the world a better place.<br />Honestly the Nobel Price has no appeal to me but the love of my Father and a kiss from my daughters.Silviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249978624747684879noreply@blogger.com
