"Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best."--Henry Van Dyke
I love this quote. (Have you noticed that I love all kinds of quotes?) I love the admonition that we should all be using whatever talents we have. Too often I bemoan my lack of talents. I complain, "I can't write like Amanda," "I can't compose poetry like Jeannie," "I can't play the piano like Janet," etc. And then I remember that Heavenly Father made me as I am, with the talents I possess. No one else is exactly like me. (Some would say that is a good thing!)
So, for today, I am grateful for talents, mine and those of others.
Isn't it wonderful that we all have different talents?
