the gift of looking to God for guidancethe gift of being a disciple
the gift of caring for others
the gift of being able to ponderthe gift of offering prayer
the gift of bearing a mighty testimony
and the gift of receiving the Holy Ghost.
"We must remember that to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God. It is our right and responsibility to accept our gifts and to share them."
