Since I have been here in Mexico, going and reading the articles on the Yahoo! homepage has helped me stay in touch with things that are going on outside of Mexico. Yes, some of the articles are pointless but sometimes you need that kind of stuff in your life!! Well here is a link to an article that I have read recently. It is not one of the pointless articles . . . it makes you think about what you have. I only pray that I am half the people this couple are.

I have won a lottery like this couple has . . . not a million dollar lottery but God has given me many gifts/skills and provided for me plus more. I knew that when I got this job I would be able use my gifts to help people in many different ways and I have been slow in using those gifts. I have made excuses about it being hard because I am in another country or I have no time to do things in Mexico or back home because of work, but God has still put this question in my heart and mind . . . What are we going to do with are lotteries?
James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Romans 12:6-8
We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
