Gifts & Graces
Where God’s beauty shines — through talent, through struggle, through grace.
When a person reflects the splendor of God’s creation through art, music, or literature —
or perhaps through skill and creativity in the sciences or other fields —
we easily recognize a God-given talent.
And when that endowment inspires or makes life better for others,
it becomes a gift shared — nourishing both giver and receiver,
reflecting the bounty of God Himself.
But sometimes, a person rises from what seems an impossible hurdle —
an imperfection, impairment, or trial —
with effort, determination, and unwavering faith.
Emerging from the struggle, they claim their place in God’s creation,
shining not only with talent, but with God’s unmistakable grace —
a grace offered to all who believe in Him and in who He calls them to be.
