#1 Gift, Giving (96%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
It is characteristic of my family of origin. My parents and older brothers would say, “knock with your feet.” I learned that meant when visiting someone your arms should be full to give to those whom we were visiting, so our feet would have to do the knocking. This is among the Corporal works of Mercy that Jesus emphasize.

#2 Gift, Mercy Showing (90%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Asking forgiveness and giving forgiveness are included among the spiritual works of mercy. Aren’t four of the seven Spiritual Works of Mercy considered to be an obligation of all faithful to practice unconditionally?

#3 Gift, Administration (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
In high school and college, I worked in a number of roles than honed my “secretarial skills. I was a teacher for over 40 years and learned only to quickly the importance of organization. Learning new technical skills was a given. I am no expert in these areas, but I can help and still learn new skills.

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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

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

Everyone Else After those
