Jennifer and I always taught our children to say, “Thank you,” whenever they receive a gift whether it was one they really liked or one that was not so great. When it comes to the spiritual gifts that God gives every believer, we do not have to worry if God’s gifts are good or not.

He created us with certain good works or tasks in mind.

Serving others is not something Jana Kinnersley just does occasionally; it’s the family motto. The phrase “Love God and Serve Others” is displayed on a plaque in the Kinnersley’s dining room. “It’s what we remind ourselves,” she states, “even if it’s just pushing a grocery cart to help someone. We try to make service a way of life. We look for small ways to serve. They are all around us, right in front of you – all the time. We just use the opportunities right in front of us.”
