Reaching Out

     Sharing our gifts and talents isn't always an easy thing to do. Sometimes we just don't believe that we have anything worth sharing. And sometimes we only want to blend into the crowd. We worry abour being "different". We're afraid others will call us conceited or say that we showing off.

Look over the list below and decide if the people described are sharing or wasting their gifts. Feel free to print this page so you can answer them with a "S" (for sharing) or "W" (for wasting).
