I wonder if you have thought about
The poems that I spout
I think you are learning the lessons
And I know you’re asking good questions
But today my poem is about something new
And that’s the gifts God gave to YOU
And the reasons I choose to teach in poems
Is because words are how I solve my problems
Writing is my gift from God
And I get to share it with my squad
One of the reasons God gives us talents
Is because helping other’s is one of Jesus’ follower’s assignments
We can share God’s love
When we share parts of ourselves, the best of
So yes sharing our gifts is one important thing
But I think joy is another reason we have gifts to bring
While we don’t want to forget that we can use our gifts to teach
I don’t think gifts are alone for us to preach
I think we can enjoy hobbies, gifts, and talents
Because God would want God’s children
To enjoy life’s fun and amusements
So I’m here today asking all of you
Children, Teenagers, and adults too!
What interests and gifts were you given
From God in Heaven?
It is ok if you don’t know
It can take some time to try new things and grow
Mistakes happen and not everything is your deal
But I promise there is something special inside of you just waiting to reveal
If you know what that special gift might be
Will you share it with us with glee?
Maybe you sing, dance, garden, or paint!
Maybe you give the world’s best hugs or can count to one million and eighty-eight!
Whatever it is that brings you joy
And helps the ones around you learn and enjoy
Could be that thing you share with your church friends
And we could watch all of your gifts on a video with no end!
In the coming weeks we will hear
About how some of you use your gifts in ways most sincere
And God surrounds us in comfort and love and joy and grace
And together in life we rejoice in God’s gifted embrace!
