Gifting.........

At Findlay we're doing a series on spiritual gifts! And it got me thinking about not only spiritual gifts but gifts in general! I started playing the flute when I was like 11, and got taught for about 7 years until i 'gave it up' - but i still continued to play especially during exam time because it relaxes me so much!
But what i could never do - EVER - was play in front of anyone! The only reason I played in the school carol service was because in 1st year i took the music home and learnt it off by heart and i would just spin it out every year! I just cant play in front of people!
Last weekend when i was home i decided to bring my flute over to uni - for a de-stress session, or two!! Then i was thinking about this so called 'gift', and how i put it to use, use for God that is! Well i came to the conclusion i dont! I use it for my own benefit and have never even thought to thank him for giving me the ability to play in the first place!
So this got my thinking....... what can i do to put this gift in use - For Gods Glory!!
