Did You Make it?
As we grow up and learn stuff, we are exposed to all sorts of ways and techniques on what to do and how to do them. It could be the way your Mom or Grandmother made a quilt from scratch, or possibly the way your dad or grandfather made a piece of furniture from just rough cut lumber? Or perhaps it was the shop teacher who taught you how to use power tools? Whatever, whenever, or whoever, you learned how to make or do something, and those skills made you, … well…you!

One of the things that make us unique in this world is our skillsets. While one person may be a brain surgeon, it doesn’t necessarily make that surgeon a good accountant. That great mechanic you like so much, they can’t cook a lick to save their lives!

While we are all good at something, it may also mean that we are terrible at something else! Even getting your medical care means that you see you Primary Care Doctor first, and then if needed, you get a referral to see a specialist.

So as you think about it, what is your special gift? Or maybe you have several? I know in my neighborhood many of my neighbors know I’m knowledgeable about our local desert critters. There has been more than one occasion where I got a knock on my door requesting help with the dreaded rattle snake that was in their back yard! Only to find that the snake was just a local harmless whipsnake or Sonoran ground snake. “These are good snakes that eat the bad rats and bugs”, I would gently coach as I picked up the intruder with my bare hands. Our local non-venomous Gopher snake is a great neighbor and actually eats rattle snakes! Talk about a special skill!

Some of us are handy, and some of us have trouble just changing a light bulb. Others are good carpenters, while others are great at math and accounting. Point is that we all have some type of gift that makes you, you.
