This is my 2-page LO for my own Faith Scrappers CJ entitled "Spiritual Gifts". Journaling reads, "People have shared with me that I possess the gift of relationships. (I didn’t even know this was a spiritual gift!?!) Yes, I have close friends I have known for nearly 40 years (and I’m only in my early 40s) and from every job I’ve ever had, and call family across the country just because I’m thinking of them, but I never thought of relationships as a gift. To me, it’s just a part of everyday life.

Together, we’ve been through engagements, marriages and divorces, graduations, new jobs, cars and houses, births of children and deaths of parents, happy and sad times. What can I say? I care about people, especially “my” people. It is not easy for me to say goodbye or let people walk out of my life, especially if they have meant something special to me. Therefore, I make the extra effort to preserve and continue relationships.

My two incredible, loving parents gave me my first true sense that a relationship is something very special that takes time to build, must be lovingly nurtured, faithfully contributed to, and purposefully maintained. More importantly, every relationship must be rooted in unconditional love, patience, and forgiveness. Yes, it’s hard work, but the rewards are great! What a precious gift! I pray I never take it for granted, or forget how to use it."
