Talents used

       Last night I attended the Rich Little program at the Glema Mahr Center for the Arts in Madisonville.  His life story of Jimmy Stewart in which he did impressions of Stewart and over 25 of his contemporaries such as Henry Fonda, John Wayne, Ronald Reagan, George Burns and  a host of others was fantastic.  At 72, Little is articulate, funny and still using his talented voice and body language to entertain and impress.  He closed the Jimmy Stewart program by presenting Jimmy as telling God that he comes to him having used up all the talents God gave him.  I think Little is trying also.  While I did not appreciate some of his more ribald humor, he captured the essence of Hollywood glamour and hard working craftsman that most celebrities were,  people who worked at what they were doing to the best of their ability.
     Using the talents God gave us to the maximum is a responsibility of good stewardship.  So, we must not look for the point of satisfaction with our lives that we have nothing left to do.  There should always be a mission to use the talents to help others, teach others and inspire others in anyway that we can.  Words in story and words in books pass on like ripples in an ocean not a small pond.  You never know where they will land.
    Positive words will create positive ripples.     Have a day where you can say at the end, I created a pay it forward moment that will have positive results!
