Unknown But Important Gifts of the Spirit

I wanted to share something from my friend's mission blog. She said:

"I've been reading out of a manual, 'The Gospel and the Productive Life,' and have found it to be interesting. I want to include something that I found to be interesting about spiritual gifts. I often feel very inadequate and found this to be insightful. Maybe there are some of you that feel the same way. This is from Marvin J.
Ashton:

'Taken at random, let me mention a few gifts that are not always evident or noteworthy or noteworthy but that are very important....

'The gift of asking; the gift of listening; the gift of hearing and using a still small voice; the gift of being able to weep; the gift of avoiding contention; the gift of being agreeable; the gift of avoiding vain repetition; the gift of seeking that which is righteous; the gift of not passing judgment; the gift of looking to God for guidance; the
gift of being disciple; the gift of caring for others; the gift of being able to ponder; the gift of offering prayer; the gift of bearing a mighty testimony; and the gift of receiving the Holy Ghost.'

I thought of a few more gifts: the gift of discernment of feelings and thoughts of others, the gift of awareness of self and others; gift of ability to comfort others."

I am grateful for her, for her blog, and for a tender mercy of the Lord. I am grateful for the gifts that I have received even though they might not be known to many but are very important to me and in my life. I am grateful for the gift of offering prayer and of looking to God for guidance.

I will have to write my friend and thank her. :)
