This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
My parents sponsored several of my brother’s and my groups at school, church, and scouting. They often helped those in need, too; so my wish to help others probably came from watching and listening to them. I love to do things that might be pleasing to God, as well.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Giving to anyone in need has always been something that gave me pleasure. At church, it is so marvelous to give to the various groups and ministries supported by The Bridge.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have a tender spot for those that need a kind word or a hug. A friend’s daughter is often the recipient of my encouragement. She gets overwhelmed in taking care of her parents and calls for assurance and advice. Family members or encouragement often ask for advice, also.

[P]ersonality

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline
