The milk story is not mine, though I have tizzied it up a bit from the one I heard when I was first learning about motivational gifts 35 years ago. I have no idea where it originated, so am not able to give attribution.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353417379909080928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-6395139186372274342015-11-16T11:03:24.471+10:002015-11-16T11:03:24.471+10:00Hi Lynn, Thank you for this food for thought, whic...Hi Lynn, Thank you for this food for thought, which helps us understand each other, not to mention ourselves. I've had an idea that I possibly fit most into the encourager category of the spiritual gifting so, and when it comes to writing, the things you said they need to watch out for are the ones which have affected me at times :)Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-35654173539441233852015-11-16T10:51:50.045+10:002015-11-16T10:51:50.045+10:00Wow!

A well told tale! :) And yes - our characters would have one of more of those traits. Thank you for making us see things a bit differently and to teach us to use 1 Cor 12 in practical ways in our writing!

While I'm sure I've seen that last illustration before, this is the first time I've seen the motivational gifts applied to writing, along with the strengths and weaknesses they bring. And applying it to myself, and to my characters . . . hmm. That will be a good challenge!Iolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199141868703826943noreply@blogger.com
