The canines love Dr. Banner because they receive more care, attention, and affection from her than a newborn child does from all the grandparents combined. Dr. Banner has a gift for working with animals. The other day, Rotten, the rottweiler, was acting like a crazy idiot in our rock-covered yard and ripped one of her toenails half off. The inner nerve was exposed and she yelped and cried in agony all the way to the Animal Care Clinic. Dr. Banner's soothing voice hypnotically relaxed the dog in an instant.
Many people know what their talents and gifts are.
But few have invested years of training, made sacrifices, and endured hardships to improve and perfect their gifts-as Dr. Banner has. Perfecting our talents can be a source of joy. But when I realized what God had given me, I worked for it. I didn't just sit around. Jesus Christ encourages us to develop our gifts.
