A Quotation That Caught My Attention

By
Real Estate Agent with Classic Realty Realtor

I came across an interesting quote from Erma Bombeck the other day. It simply reads:

- When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything God gave me." -

I've been thinking about this quote, specifically, how should this apply to me? The answer really isn't that profound, but rather simple: I want to use everything God has given me for family, neighbors, friends, clients, church, as a husband/father, and grandfather. I'm sure the list could be longer, but this is a good beginning.

So how about you?

That one really gets me to thinking. I think this is what God looks for...how have we used what blessings (talents, gifts, children ) He has given us, and how we have treated others in our world.

Peggy, you are right, this is something to think about. I appreciate you stopping by my blog today.

Barbara, the quote grabbed me in much the same way as you. It does stir something up inside.

Bonnie, it is humbling and truly causes me to think about my life and what am I doing to make a difference in this world?

Debbie, I am pleased you stopped by my blog post this afternoon. How will I use what I've been given is truly the question.
