Spiritual Gifts – What Is Your Spiritual Gift?

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

You have received a precious gift. Yes, you have received a precious gift, whether you know it or not, whether you agree with me or not. It is a gift from the Spirit and the general name of this gift is that it is a spiritual gift, because it comes from that Spirit.

If you know this gift you are able to use it for your benefit and that of others around you. If you do not know what this gift is, it will lie there, unopened, unlooked, unused and you will go through life all the poorer because of your failure to make use of this wonderful gift.

It is like an inheritance. A parcel of land was awarded to an heir as an inheritance. But if she does not know about this deed of inheritance, she will go through life without getting the benefits of this inheritance.

Ephesians 4:8 says that gifts were given to human beings, not just to members of the Church. This means that whether you are a Christian or non-Christian, a Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, atheist or agnostic, or whatever else, if you are a human being, a gift was given to you by this Spirit. It may be one gift or may be more than one gift. But at least there is a gift that was given to you.

So, what is your spiritual gift? Let us have a rundown of some of these gifts.

Do you have the gift of prophecy? This does not necessarily mean that you can foretell things in the future, but that you are able to speak forth for God.

Do you have the gift of ministry or serving others? Some people just have the knack of helping others voluntarily without thinking of any compensation. Are you one of these?

Do you have the gift of teaching, showing others clearly and forcefully what you want to say? Some who took up teaching as a profession have this gift, but the majority seem not to have it. They can only repeat what the textbooks and other teachers said before them.

Or do you have the gift of exhortation, giving energy to those who seem to be lacking the drive to do a certain thing?

Do you have the gift of giving? Many philanthropists have this gift. But you need not be a well-known philanthropist to have this gift. You can give in your own little way.

Do you have the gift of ruling or managing things. Some have the knack of delegating work to others. They have this gift of ruling or managing.

Do you have the gift of showing mercy? There are people who are naturally compassionate. They cannot even kill a fly. They have mercy even unto the least of animals.

Do you have the gift of wisdom, saying the right word at exactly the needed time?

Or do you have the gift of knowledge, able to understand some of the hidden things around us like the mysterious …

How to Get an Aries Man Back – Surprising Strategies to Reclaim His Heart

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

You want to get back an Aries man. Obviously things didn’t work out the way you hoped for with your boyfriend. Relationships have a way of careering off course when we least expect it. After the dust has settled, and the break up is behind you, you may come to an awakening. Realizing that he’s the guy for you is difficult enough. Figuring out how to get him back in love with you is where the real challenge begins. If your guy is an Aries you’re going to have to approach things from a specific angle. You need to regain his trust so he can open his heart up to you all over again.

There’s a big misconception among women that they feel the brunt of the emotional turmoil after a break up. That’s simply not the case. Men feel things just as passionately. They experience the same pain that we do and it naturally leaves them wary of trying the relationship again. In order to get an Aries man back you have to show him that he can trust you with his heart once again. To do that you must be strong and emotionally stable. You have to work towards getting him to see that you’re the only woman for him.

The first thing you should be doing to get him to feel closer to you is initiate a platonic friendship with him. This is important for two reasons. First and foremost it ensures that you’ll remain a positive influence in his life. You already know him very well and so becoming a friend to him will feel comfortable and natural to both of you. Aries men are very open to the idea of maintaining contact after a relationship ends, so he’ll likely welcome the idea with open arms.

The other reason you want to become a friend to your ex is you need to work on showing him the improvements you’ll be making to yourself. You’re going to work on being more confident and self sufficient. Aries men go wild for women like this. You’re also going to be mature enough to recognize that the past needs to stay in the past. Drudging up the break up time and time again will only alienate him more. He wants to move forward and away from that pain, just as much as you do.

As your new friendship develops show him that you’re definitely someone he can lean on. Be there for him but keep the romantic feelings at bay. Your focus needs to be on demonstrating to him that you’re a strong and reliable presence in his life. Once he senses this, his heart will be much more open to the idea of the two of you moving from friends to romantic partners again.…

How to Choose Wedding Invitations

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

Invitation options are unlimited. There are designs based on seasons, holidays, nature, color combinations, themes, religion, ethnic backgrounds, flowers, and much more. And if that is not enough to confuse you, you also have a wide variety of fonts and ink colors, and types of wedding versa to choose from. Fonts will range from old English, to script, plain text, calligraphy, etc. One thing to make sure is that you do not choose a font that may be difficult to read, especially if you may have a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds at your wedding.

Here are some questions for you to consider when choosing your invitation design:

What is your wedding invitation budget?

Wedding invitations come in all budgets and all styles. If you are looking to keep your budget on wedding invitations to a minimum, you may just go with the wedding invitation itself plus the response card. The response card is a smaller card that goes inside the invitation card so that guests can respond with the number that will be attaching or not attending, and mail it back to you. (You provide the stamp).

For larger wedding invitation budgets, you may want to get the whole package. That would include the wedding invitation itself, the response card, a reception card (which states where the reception will be if held at a separate place), and a thank you card, for after the wedding. There are also other options available like fancy seals, lined envelopes with matching ink colors, and place cards with your guests names on them.

What time of the year will your wedding take place?

If your wedding will be a fall wedding, there are lovely invitations to coordinate this theme representing fall foliage, nature, etc. In winter time? Many of the wedding invitations today can alternatively be called holiday cards, since they reflect the snow and holiday theme into them. Spring and summer weddings have by far the largest choice if going with those themes. There are infinite depths of wedding invitations with beach themes, shells, sand, couples on a beach or under the moonlight, calla lilies, roses, tulips, butterflies, hearts, and just about every theme you can imagine.

Should the style be traditional or contemporary?

That is completely up to you. Traditional and / or classic wedding invitations tend to be more old-fashioned in design, with lots of flowers, vines, paisley designs, large cornice-type borders, and have that old feel. Many of them come in black and white as well. Contemporary wedding invitations tend to be more colorful, more color blends, more modern type illustrations of flowers, sailboats, shells, etc. Both styles are great, try to select the wedding invitation that best matches the theme of your wedding. Once again just remember to choose the type of wedding invitation that best describes you, your groom, and your wedding theme. With all of today's gorgeous choices, you are sure to find the perfect style you will love. …

The Best and Easiest Ways to Save Money on Kid's Clothing

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

Recently my husband brought something to my attention and that is I spend more on my kids' clothes than I do on mine and his. I love the way they look in a brand new outfit. The problem is keeping my kids in nice clothing can expensive especially when they are constantly outgrowing them. It is for this reason that when it comes to buying clothes for them to play in, parents must shop for bargains and stock up.

Luckily for me and for my checking account, there are a number of different way to save money of kid's clothing. Getting them to stop growing so fast seems like the most obvious answer but also not too realistic. Instead, use a few of these easy steps to get your kids looking great and keeping money in your pocket:

  • The first place to stop is at a few of your local consignment stores. They are always good for a bargain or two. Try to go at the end of the season. This is when you'll find the best clothes on sale. If your kid ever needs a really nice dress or suit for a formal occasion, I would try a consignment shop first. You run the chance of finding some real gems at a fantastic price. Since kids out grow clothes so fast, the bargains you'll find in a consignment shop look like they are brand new.
  • Next time you're driving and see a yard sale, make sure you stop in. People are looking to get rid of things that consider junk or have no room for. You can find some really amazing children's items for amazing prices. A friend of mine recently found baby furniture, riding toys, and decorator bedroom for her soon to arrive little girl for only pennies of what she would have normally paid. A yard sale is also a great opportunity to find shirts and pants that have lots of wear left in them for less than a dollar.
  • A great time to find some good buys on children's clothing is during the end of season sales. Most of the clothes of sale end up being pieces that can be worn almost year round. Shop for bargains on tee shirts, pants, sneakers and other kids accessories. If you think your kid will be able to fit in a certain size come next winter season, an end of winter sale is a great time to purchase a normally pricey winter coat.
  • Do not forget about friends and family members looking to unload their kid's old clothes. This works vice versa, as well. If they have any good clothing that their kids can not use anymore, ask them if they would consider letting you have them. The best part about this suggestion is that it will not cost you anything either!
  • You'll final option is thrift stores. They tend to be cheaper than consignment shops but cost more than the usual yard sale. While finding a really nice

Clothes shopping does not have to be an unbearable headache. These tips for smarter shopping will help you buy a better wardrobe by spending less time and money.

1. Successful shopping begins with the inventory of your clothing. Get rid of the items you have not worn for a year!

3. Write a list of items that will expand your wardrobe.

4. Allow enough time for shopping (the more the better). Start early and dedicate the whole day to it!

5. Try on everything you like. A hanger and your body are two different things!

6. Do not be in a hurry. Buy only what you REALLY need.

Boys' Clothing – Trends

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

Trends in boys' clothing have followed the same trends in fashion generally. There are wonderful collections based on sports gear that is primarily worn as fashion items rather then for specific activities though the influence within that sector has been through the sports celebrities and the recent coverage of the Olympic games. Just as men's clothing copies the style and fashion of frequently photographed sports stars, so does boys' clothing. Cycling gear and running gear that incorporate integral pockets for gadgets like MP3 player or iPod headsets are attractive buyers who also run nor cycle.

Football kits have been a major influence on boys' clothing. Not only is the current shirt a must-have for a football fan of a particular club but merchandise that includes T-shirts, trainers with the club crest, track pants from leading sports brand manufacturers and sweat top, fleeces and hoodies are all available in team colors and players' numbers. Beckham, Ronaldo and several others are often seen emblazoned on the back of a boy's shirt. Other sports personalities outside football like Tiger Woods and Roger Federer too have influenced the types of clothing hitting the rails for those who want a smart but casual look where they can claim their attire is just like 'that famous golfer / tennis player' who does the razor ads.

Outdoor wear has become popular as skateboarding and surfing clothes have joined the ranks of hikers and mountaineers in specialist shops providing refurbished, durable clothing with features that include sweat wicking layers, socks with anatomical pads for greater comfort and protection against blistering from rubbing or crinkling, jackets in lightweight microfibre and footwear that can cope with rocks, concrete and hostile environments. Bright colors have evolved not only as fashion statements but also as a high visibility safety component. Industry names like Billabong, Animal and Bench have certain cachet; their use of striking contemporary artwork makes their items stand out and many who like to refer to the laid-back easy-going attitude of the daredevils who practice the sports associated with their products seek them out. There are still the naturals and neutrals for those wishing to blend into the environment they are exploring, whether it's the mountains or the forest and woodlands or the sea and these have also influenced the military / camouflage look that is currently so popular with many boys who like to recreate the 'skins' of their heroes from console games.

The music scene, most recently hip-hop, has always been a great influence. Today low-rise jeans with baggy fit are still thought by boys wishing to emulate the fashion of their music heroes. Oversized T-shirts, baseball shirts and basketball vests are popular and accessorized with 'bling' jewelery, baseball caps or beanies. Headwear itself has taken off, apart from those items already mentioned there are various styles of baseball caps with different depths of peaks, bush-hats and cowboy hats, bandanas and dough-rags to wear on your head that replace the bobble caps of old.

Anniversary Gifts – Sixtieth Anniversary

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

Well, another five years have passed and you're celebrating your sixtieth wedding anniversary. Hard to believe that even if you married at 21 years of age you'd be over 80 right now. Not many people stay married this long and you should be very proud of your accomplishment. Of course, it's time to get your spouse a gift for those 60 years and anniversary gifts at this stage of the game do not come cheap. Regardless of whether you go the traditional route or the modern one, you're still going to be spending a pretty penny.

This year's traditional anniversary gift is the yellow diamond. The modern anniversary gift is just a plain diamond. Now, you might be wondering what the difference is. Well, it's really very simple. Yellow diamonds are harder to find, or more rare, so a yellow diamond, say one caret, would be a lot more expensive than a regular diamond of the same size. That's why the modern list was made. People on fixed incomes will probably have a hard enough time getting any kind of a diamond, but at least the regular diamond will not cost them as much. So what can you pick up for this special occasion that fits the bill?

Because these gifts can be so expensive, many people are taking the diamond theme and really expanding it. For example. Did you know that the game of baseball is played on what is called a diamond? Well, it is. So what many people do is spring for tickets to a baseball game, especially if their anniversary falls between April and October. So ladies, if your husband is a baseball fan, this could be a perfect gift for him.

Keeping with the expanded diamond theme, since diamonds are one of the suits in a deck of cards and cards are used for gambling, what some people do is to take their spouse to the nearest casino. If of course you're living hundreds or even thousands of miles away from one of these, this is a perfect chance to take your spouse on a nice plane ride to Atlantic City or Las Vegas. Talk about a really big surprise for your anniversary.

If of course you're determined to go with the modern or traditional theme, either of which will set you back a few bucks, there are a few things you're going to have to do.

For one thing, you're going to have to see how much money you really have to spend. At 80 years of age there are not going to be many places that are going to give you extended credit so you¡¯re most likely going to have to pay for this in cash or with your credit card, which will have to be paid off .

Of course, you can always get gifts with very small diamonds where the diamond itself is not the main part of the gift.

With a little imagination, you can get an anniversary gift that …

What You Will Need to Think About When Getting Presents and Gift Ideas for Women

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

When it comes to any occasion, whether it is birthdays or Christmas or any other, it is a very difficult time when buying presents as you will want to make sure that you get the perfect gift. For this you may feel that you need to find the perfect place in order to do this.

Although not mean in a horrible way, many people are of the opinion that women are harder to buy for as they are more picky when it comes to gifts than men. At least this is what it looks like from a man's point of view when they are buying the gift.

It is very important to look around when shopping for anyone as there are unlimited amount of present possibilities and it is the general opinion that there is a gift for everyone. With the extra use of the internet shopping has become a lot easier as you can browse thousands of products in the same place at the same time.

Not only this, but with the power of the internet you are able to find, pay for securely and organize delivery of your present by just the click of a mouse. This process is easier than spending hours walking around shops looking for that one special item as you can do it without raising any suspicions.

When you are buying a gift or present for a woman it is much easier if you know them, this way it narrows the field down and will make it a lot quicker in finding the perfect gift for them. One common misconception is that you have to buy a woman something big and expensive.

This however is not the case as many women would be happy with a smaller gift if it means something and a lot of thought has gone into buying it. As with anyone else, you need to think what her interests would be. Another helpful factor would be taking into consideration their age.

If you were to buy your other half a very personal gift that is not expensive, she may like this more as it shows that you take note of what she likes and you pay close attention to her. This is the same for all women that you are looking to buy for such as your mother, sister or friend.

How old a woman is can help narrow the gift field down by showing you common and unique gifts that someone of that age may go for. Of course this still means that personal likes come into play, but this does help quite a bit in the decision process.

One good tactic to take note of would be to ask questions in advance of the occasion so that you are able to gather some ideas of what they would like in order for you to choose what to buy. You could also supplement the present with some chocolates or flowers to add a personal touch.

If you go into …
