We had our young marrieds group tonight at our house. We were on the topic of what our spiritual gifts are. We decided to go around and share what our spiritual gifts are based on this test we took tonight. And we shared with one another whether or not we agreed with the results. SO my gifts according to this test were Helps, Hospitality, Serving, Mercy, and Exhortation... It came around to my turn and people agreed with my results and shared some examples of times where they have seen those gifts in me. We went on with the night and later on my dear friend said she had one more thing she had to share about me. She shared how we have known each other for a while and for a couple years have both dreamed of having children. She then read from our package the description of Mercy:
The spiritual ability to detect and help those who hurt and have needs. Empathizes with those who are needy or experiencing difficulty. Desires to remove hurts and exhibit sensitivity. Enjoys a supportive ministry of caring.
(A little background to the story... this friend of mine...she is now 4 months pregnant. Her and her hubby got preggo on their first try. )
After she read that description she said.. I might cry now... and she did. She continued to share how much it meant to her that no matter how badly I wanted a baby, and how long hubby and I have been trying, she never doubted my excitement for her. She said I was the second person she called when she found out she was pregnant because she knew how excited I would be for her.
That meant sooooo much to me to hear her say that. lol It's sooo crazy how I just blogged about this not even 4 days ago. And I think God was affirming what he was doing in my heart and that others are able to see him through the change that he has done in me.
Thank you Lord for the spirit of understanding and caring that you have given me through my trials. Amen
