Everybody has talent right?WRONG!I have no talent to speak of.I can't play any instrument.I like to hunt,but can't hit the broadside of a barn.I like to fish,but catch more bug bites than fish.I can't word things well enough to write a book even though I would like to.I have researched and learned all about goats and have treated goats that were on their death beds,but I'm not even good at that because I have trouble retaining information.I forget everything and have to look stuff up when I need to help one.I can't even raise a garden to grow half way decent.I thought everybody had a specific talent that set them out from everybody around them.Is that my talent,to be the no talent?Does anybody else feel this way?Thanks in advance for your responses!

Maybe your talent is not in what you can do, but in who you are or can be. Maybe its the smile that can lift everyone spirits, or a kindness that you show to someone else. A gentle spirit is also a talent. Don't dispair, God has need of all of us. In His eyes you are already very special and He knows your talent.

As long as you have something to be happy about that you done then you have a talent.

I sure wish he would whisper it in my ear as if it were the breeze or something.It stresses me out to not have my one true talent.

My husband can sing,play guitar,has the gift of gab,makes friends as easily as he walks,can weld,can drive anything with wheels on it.It makes me sick.He is multi-talented and I have yet to do anything better than others around me.

You have to be good at something. Are you able to hold a conversation for more than 5 minutes?? I know I have a hard time talking on the phone with people for over 2 minutes lol! I lack communication skills like non other. Some people are just gifted to gab... I was not.

No gift of gab here.I won't even answer the phone,if I can keep from it.I tell my husband to tell them I'm feeding the animals or in town.If I do get suckered into getting on it,I make an excuse to get off quick.All them needy animals,and fighting kids,what a relief!
