Talents?

About a month ago I was called to be an Activity Days leader. I am really excited about this calling and I think that there is a lot of potential out there for this program. Twice a year we have to do a recognition night and our next one is in December. The theme that was chosen (before I was called) is Talents. Tomorrow, myself and the other leader will be introducing this to the girls by each creating a table to display our talents. I know what a talent is but I am really stumped trying to come up with talents that I have.

My loving husband said that I am patient but is that really a talent? I don't know that I could justify that as a talent and even if it is, how do you even begin to put "patience" on a display table? He also said that I'm really good at baking cakes. Now there is something that I can run with. I thought about making and decorating a cake to take tomorrow. Now, I'm not super good at cake decorating yet but I've definitely got the cake baking part down! I've even found a couple new recipes I would like to try but I'm not sure if they're good recipes to try with girls I don't really know yet. Maybe I'll go with something like chocolate or white, who knows. The only other thing I could come up with all on my own is playing the paino. I can put a song book on the table but after those 2, I am stumped! Hopefully I can come up with something before 3:00 pm tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I know how you feel with the whole talents thing but just decorating cakes takes a lot of patience in learning how to do it and practice. So you could tie them both together like that.

You should invite me over to eat your delicious talent cake :)
