Honestly, when “gambling” on our talents and dreams, the only real way we lose is not to take the risk. The greatest risk you take is of being shy or embarrassed.

Even if you never get famous, you can still enjoy these gifts, and use them to bless the lives of others.

The Teddy Bear may represent the DREAMS you hug tightly, hoping they will come true.

Unless your Dad is rough on you and criticizes you a LOT, go ahead and share your dreams with him. Or, maybe just start acting on your dreams, and stop hiding them. If you like to draw, stop hiding out in your room to do it. Make note cards and mail them to friends, or make a greeting card to give to your parents. If it’s dancing or singing, do it around the house, and maybe even ask to take classes or participate in classes or activities at church or school where you can sing and/or dance.

WHATEVER your talent, it will not grow unless you use it. If you start doing it, people will notice without you having to say a word.

I had a dream once that I went to a casino, and I did not want to gamble. But my Dad gave me a quarter token. He told me, “This is not your quarter, so you are not gambling.” So I played it and won. Then I played my winnings, and won again. I kept winning and winning, and finally an accountant came to see how much I made and charge me tax.

The next day I found a book called “The Eighth Day of Creation,” and it was by an author I had read about in another book, so I bought it (cheap, like at a yard sale). What it said is that the talents you have are not yours, they are a gift from your Father, God (like my quarter token). If you use them, they will grow. Then someday, God will ask us to give an account of how we used what He gave us and we will want to say, “See what I did with your gift to me!” (That is why the accountant came to me in the dream to check up on my winnings.

A famous quote says, “What you are is God’s gift to you. What you become is your gift to God.” There is a story in the Bible where a king gives talents (or money) to his servants and goes away on a trip. He comes back to see how they used the money. Those who had invested it and made it grow were rewarded with praise and positions of honor and authority. But one guy said, “I buried it in the ground,” and that made the king angry. The king represents God, because He wants us to use and enjoy our talents and use them to bless others. This story in the Bible is where we got our word “talent,” as it originally meant a type of coin, but in the story, it really represents our abilities, skills, and gifts.

I don’t like gambling with money, but when it comes to the talents we have, if we don’t use them, we are just throwing away the gifts God has given us… and gifts we could have used to bless others.

Go for it!!!!!!!

Enjoy!!!

God bless you!
