Taken from the files of The Wolbach Messenger Ten Years Ago, 2016 Seventy-seven runners participated in the Wolbach Fun Run/Walk, which was held on Sunday afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend…A total of $900 of proceeds from the Run/Walk was donated to Make-A-Wish of Nebraska. A group of young ladies calling themselves “The Awesomest Crafty Crafters” had a craft/bake sale during the event and they donated $100 to the Wolbach Park Fund.

The Bible tells us that God has given each of us different gifts and that He wants us to use these gifts in accordance with the grace that He has bestowed upon us. When we think about these special gifts that someone may possess, we naturally think about great talents like those of a famous artist, or a skilled surgeon. However, most of us have more common everyday gifts that we are required to use in our daily lives. We should try to recognize and take pride in the different gifts and talents that our Heavenly Father has given to us, and we should use these offerings for His glory. Whether we are given the gift of being a parent, a teacher, or a taxi driver, we should try to do our very best, and we should always be appreciative of God’s caring love for us. Our Lord wants the best for us, and our serving others reflects our love for Him. We should willingly share our talents with others and we should do it generously. We should work hard, and whenever we show kindness to others, we should do it cheerfully.
