#1 Gift, Serving (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love Jesus and His message on the Golden Rule. I find it very difficult to pass someone on the street who needs food to feed their family or themselves.

#2 Gift, Mercy Showing (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Jesus showers me with His mercy even when I think I don’t deserve it. So how can I not show mercy to others in their time on need.

#3 Gift, Giving (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have attended church all my life. When Tom and I were first married we did not tithe but we gave but did not put God at the top of the bill list. But in later years we discovered that God keeps His promise and we put Him at the top of the list and we have never been disappointed. He will provide.

[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. I find great joy in helping others who have no one else to assist them.

2. Walking on the beach and hearing the waves brushing against the shore line. Looking at the sun rises and sun sets. Love going out early in the morning to see the stars and the bid dipper right in my front yard.

3. Reading good books. Especially the one I am reading now for our Bible Study. School of the Spirit by Roberts Liardon. Books that awaken me to a deeper walk with God.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

Now I live in a 55 and older senior park and I enjoy hearing their stories of the past. I care a lot about the widows.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

I like to make people feel welcome when they come into the front door of the church. There is a young lady that stands at he door when I leave that is all smiles and so friendly and loving. She makes a great impression on me and makes me feel special in a giant sea of unknown faces.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I have always been attending church every since I was a child. Doing all the right things just because I was expected to. Always been searching for a relationship with Jesus. I discovered Jesus as my Lord and Savior on a walk to Emmaus in 1989. That is when I surrendered my life to HIm. and I have never been the same. It was awesome.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Lutheran Church in Indiana Secretary years ago

Sunday School teach in Ohio

Faith Assembly in Fort Myers. Child care years ago.

The move to Florida and the warm climate
