Spiritual Gifts
So I was driving home this evening and a blurb on the radio has something or other about this or that concerning inviting people to church. My interest was peeked so I tried my best to etch the web address into my mind hoping it would stick for the next 15 minutes of drive time.
It worked. Once home and well fed, I jumped on the net to explore whatever it was that I thought was important enough to remember the URL. Too bad I just remembered the web address and not the topic. Undaunted by the lack of memory, I explored www.lifeway.com. WHOA! I found some really cool stuff there.
They have a Spiritual Gifts Survey that is a free download that consists of 80 statements. Some items reflect concrete actions other items are descriptive traits, and other are statements of belief. I printed the survey out and administered it to my eight year old daughter. Twenty minutes later I knew the same things about my child that I knew twenty minutes before, BUT we had a bunch of fun spending time together. Later my wife and I took the survey and compared results. No surprise there were no surprises. Again it was time well spent together focused on bending our hearts to our Lord.
