Are You Amazing, or is Your Gift? How to Stay Humble | MWM
https://youtu.be/gFHORUo7Otk
Share Your Gifts With Others = The gift is always greater than the person. We all have been blessed with gifts that make us look better than we really are. Our gifts are what make us amazing, not us. These gifts are given to us not earned, but it is important that we work hard to reach the potential of our gifts and share them with others. 



Staying Grounded Helps You Best Use Your Gifting
We Are Blessed With Gifts = The gift is always greater than the person. We all have been blessed with gifts that make us look better than we really are. Our gifts are what make us amazing, not us. These gifts are given to us not earned, but it is important that we work hard to reach the potential of our gifts and share them with others.
Our Gifts Make Us Better Than We Really Are = The gift is always greater than the person. We all have gifts in our life that make us look better than we really are—our gifts are what make us amazing, not us. These gifts are given to us, and it is important that we work hard at our gifts and share them with others. 
It is important to understand the difference between who you are and what your gifts are. We all have some amazing gifts in our life, they lift us up and they make us look better than we really are.



There’s nothing better than getting a gift—except for, possibly, giving one! When you receive a gift, you feel appreciated, valued, and grateful for the thoughtful gesture and recognition. But when you give a gift, and you are able to make someone else feel all those same things, you will end up feeling fulfilled; and that’s an unmatched feeling. What gift can you give to make a difference in someone else’s life?

Practice Leads To Maximization = To maximize your gifts you have to practice, evaluate, and improve your gifts. You get better by practicing, and through practicing, you are permanently making your strengths bigger and better. Then, you have to evaluate what you have done so next time you can do it even better and improve your gifts. By following these steps you can become a genius one step at a time, through maximizing your gifts.



https://youtu.be/ejJD-Mh07h8
Steward The Gifts He Gives You = Manage and steward the gifts that God gave you. If you are given a lot of talent and skills, you need to use those skills to help those around you. Your strengths are the gifts that God gave you, and those same strengths fit your purpose in life. Once you find your strengths, don't get distracted, steward and manage your gifts wisely. 




Merry Christmas! When you think of Christmas, you think of gifts. We give and receive gifts with one another. If you give a toy, it will be lost or forgotten. What isn't forgotten is memories! Continue to create new memories, for those will last forever.

Scriptures
Ephesians 4:11 And [His gifts to the church were varied and] He Himself appointed some as apostles [special messengers, representatives], some as prophets [who speak a new message from God to the people], some as evangelists [who spread the good news of salvation], and some as pastors and teachers [to shepherd and guide and instruct],
Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no space left for more]. For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.”
1 Peter 4:10 Just as each one of you has received a special gift [a spiritual talent, an ability graciously given by God], employ it in serving one another as [is appropriate for] good stewards of God’s multi-faceted grace [faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to Christians by God’s unmerited favor].
1 Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural [unbelieving] man does not accept the things [the teachings and revelations] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness [absurd and illogical] to him; and he is incapable of understanding them, because they are spiritually discerned and appreciated, [and he is unqualified to judge spiritual matters].
Romans 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Romans 11:29 ESV For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Memorable Quotes

 Quotes About Memorable


  • Memorable customer service can only take place in a human-to-human situation. --Jeffrey Gitomer
  • It is not of so much consequence what you say, as how you say it. Memorable sentences are memorable on account of some single irradiating word. --Alexander Smith


It Doesn’t Take a Lot to be Memorable — Just Intentionality
Be Intentional To Be Unforgettable = It doesn’t take a lot to be unforgettable or memorable, but it does take intentionality. What can you say or do to set your experiences apart?


Be Intentional, Be Unforgettable = You don't have to be amazing to be unforgettable, but you do have to be intentional. The only difference between forgettable and unforgettable is intentionality. If you put in the time, thought, and intentionality, you become unforgettable.
