Proverbs 31:19

Proverbs 31:19 She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. ESV

Say what? Woman 31 is apparently quite the crafty chick. I'm supposed to have dinner ready, my house in order, my Bible study completed, exercises done, AND weave a rug too!? We all have a bit of creativity in us somewhere, it just may not look like your friends' creative gene. GOD gave each and every one of us talents and we should never think they are unworthy nor should we compare our gifts and abilities up against others.

And those people around us, whether they are our children or people who look up to us, how about sharing our gifts and talents with them. Be a guiding hand, showing those around you how to cook, sew, build a shelf, change a bike tire, bake, build blanket forts, plant a garden, build sand castles, hand craft decorations, care for animals, fold laundry, mow the lawn, tie shoes, or weave a rug. GOD gave us all gifts, let's not waste them!

Is there a talent you wish you did have. It's never too late to learn! Find someone that's talented in the art or task that you wish to learn and ask for advice, pointers, tutoring. Most often those who are passionate about a craft or hobby are more than happy to help someone else learn. If all else fails you'll have created a new relationship!
