| Got a GIFT? Use it! |

One of the world's hottest gospel singers Myron Butler and his wife Timberlynn were in Hobart recently giving workshops to 100 gospel choir members from around Australia.  I was one of the fortunate attendees. The workshops were about singing, but more about life. Myron is a gifted singer, teacher and mentor. When he sings, there's no effort. Pure soul and heart, backed up by technique and years of honing his 'gift'. At our last workshop, Myron sang a hymn. It was no ordinary hymn. It was a full blown performance which demonstrated all his talents and vocal range. He sang it accompanied by a pianist, he lent on the piano at times. As inspirational and moving as this 'peformnace' was, it was the tender words that followed which moved people to tears. "I was born with a gift' he said, 'a gift to be used. I work on it every day. I was fortunate because I knew what my gift was, from an early age." "Your role in life, " he gently implored, 'is to find what your gift is and use it. It has been given to you for a purpose." It's simple, but challenging at the same time. I recognised my gift, when a jazz drumming Indian window cleaner was 'directed' to give me a message about investing and utilising my gift, which I had been distracted from for many years. Got a gift? Find it. Use it |
