Sunday’s gospel is about investing in our talents. SPIRIT encourages us to look at our talents and gifts and to use them. Who benefits from our gifts, who beside ourselves? Do we use our gifts to enrich our spirit, team, and community? The song “Lemonade” is about how we often push ourselves down a path that no longer works for us, either because of the expectations of others or our own. It’s okay to be brave, admit that something isn’t working out, and move in a new direction.
Lyrics: Sign up for you, sign up for me / Sign up for a talent show were talent dies each week / You’re braver than you think / Sign up for peace, to rent or buy / Just sign the dotted line, it’s easy if you try / Oh the rich ones love to lie / And we’re all, drinking lemonade / We thought we’d be doing, something great / By now
Questions: What skills or talents have you worked at improving? What are the benefits and sacrifices you’ve made to develop these talents? When have you had to quit something you loved? How do you encourage other people to use their talents?
