Gifts from God


"Every gift that we receive from God reflects his personality, including his power, his awareness and his love. Sadly, some people explain away their gifts as strokes of good luck while other people overlook their gifts completely. Humble observers, on the other hand, attest to the continuous generosity of an unseen Giver who has often intervened in times of crisis when other options have failed. Gratitude for God's gifts begins with awareness and willingness to acknowledge the Source. " -Larry Barkdull

He tells of three personal experiences when God blessed his family with His gifts:

The Power of God - Falling off the Roof on Halloween Night

The Knowledge of God - No Food in the House

The Love of God - Welcome Home

They are beautiful stories that demonstrate God's care and loving character.
