Topic: Craft (04/23/26)
"You shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen; it shall be made with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman."
Exodus 26:31 (NAS95)

Without the skill God gave this workman to do his craft, he could not have done what God wanted him to do. Everything I have comes from Him. Every skill I have, the food I eat, the clothes on my back, shelter, even the money I give, were all given to me by my Father in heaven.

"...Freely you have received, freely give."
Matthew 10:8b (NAS95)

Freely I have received. Now it is my turn to freely give. You may ask, "What do I have to give?" Look around. I, for one, can give from the skill I have in doing crafts. I like to make
Thinking of you, Birthday, and Christmas cards. It is fun to personalize each one.

I can cheer up a person's day by sending a card. Also, I can send someone a birthday card that could be the only one they get that day.

I can recall a situation that I excountered years ago. I lived in an apartment building for the elderly and disabled. I was asked to take over the job of making sure that everyone in the building got a birthday card. There was one lady who said it was the only card she got that day. That incident reminded me that there are lonely, forgotten people out there and we can cheer them up.

Look around and you will find that you have a lot to offer. A prayer or a smile can make a person's day. We all have something to give.

Prayer, "Thank You Father that you have Blessed me so much. Help me to bless others as You have Blessed me."

This is a lovely devotion. I appreciate the verses you chose to make your points. You may want to work on varying sentence structures to pull the reader in more. I liked your take on the topic and your message really touched my heart. I've had bouts of loneliness lately. I also really liked the prayer at the end. Faithwriters accepts daily devotionals to send out to their members. If you haven't looked into this before, I think with some minor tweaks, this would be a great devotional to submit.
