Think back to the absolute best gift you ever received. How did you feel? If you are anything like me, I'll bet you went around telling everybody who would listen (and maybe a few who didn't) what you got for Christmas. Am I right? Be honest.
How do you think the person that gave you that gift felt when they found out you were going around telling everybody what they gave you?
(You didn't know this was going to be a test, did you? Alright test is over, no more questions. Well maybe just one more at the end.)
Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow.
James 1:17
That includes all the skills, talents and special abilities you have.
And Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16
...but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23b
Could there ever be a better gift?
So, there is only one thing left to do; tell everyone you meet about the awesome gift that our Father in heaven has given us, and them!
May our Lord and Savior continue to bless you and your family.
