It is important for us to examine and Understand God's Gifts as we make everyday decisions. Everyone has gifts. We lose our focus when we get down... in trouble... depressed. We don't have to Understand everything, we just have to DO IT!
One day while sitting on a park bench, Mark was asked by an old man, “Why do you do what you do? Why do you work where you work or live where you live?” Whether we agree or not, life really is about a series of paths and decisions whereby even one small change can alter our lives forever.

One day while sitting on a park bench, Mark was asked by an old man, “Why do you do what you do? Why do you work where you work or live where you live?” Whether we agree or not, life really is about a series of paths and decisions whereby even one small change can alter our lives forever. We usually want to blame others, including God, for our decisions. Only by examining the paths we have taken can we really see where we’re at! It is only when we look deep within ourselves we discover that as writers, singers, musicians, interior decorators, or even truck drivers, we all have gifts! Having them is not to question; rather, it is WHAT WE DO WITH THEM that really matters! Wherever your passions lie, you can erase your doubts and restore your joy. Just imagine yourself on a park bench…
This is really a great book! Very well-written and thought provoking. The things in life that seem most important at times really aren't once we take time to consider the entire journey. You probably will not be able to put this book down once you begin reading it. Highly recommended!
