What we are is God's gift to us. What we do with it is our gift to God!-Anonymous

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as work- ing for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you receive and inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

(Col. 3:23-24 NIV)

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.

(1 Pet. 4:10 NIV)
