~ Joel Osteen

I want to challenge us too. Both you and me. I think we do know something about our gifts and talents but there is so much more for us to realize as in discover and realize as in develop. And, yes. Probably there are some gifts and talents in us that we don't yet know anything about.

So, as the season of gift-giving begins, may we give ourselves the gift of valuing our God-given gifts and talents.

And may we bring the beauty and the best of us forward, like pencils in the hand of God writing love letters to the world, as Mother Teresa said we are each meant to be. 

With conviction,

BEAUTY.  May your deeds reflect its depth.
