What gifts might you possess that could be used in serving the Lord?

I have the gift of being able to teach His word.

One gift in particular that I possess that could be used in serving the Lord is my home. My home is somewhere that people gather and share meals together. Here we have conversations, build one another up, and strengthen our community. My home is also a refuge for people who might need support and/or friendship. For example, the first Saturday of every month my family and I host a community breakfast. People are invited to come into our home and share a meal together. By serving God’s people, we are simultaneously serving Him.
