(This post is close to a year late. It's something I started and never finished)
Over the weekend, I was able to serve the BLD community in the Singles Encounter Weekend No. 30 and I was able to convince another friend of mine, Ham to join. This is a big turn around as Ham has constantly rejected my invitations to go to mass when we go on trips together and here he was joining a Singles Encounter Weekend.
I took a step back and realized one of things that made him say yes to joining was that I told him I'd be performing. All my closest friends know that I don't dance or perform so he saw this as a rare opportunity to see me in action. Of course, I didn't disappoint but I looked at the things he had to go through just to see me dance. He had to give up his weekend for a weekend with the Lord. He had to pay a registration fee. He had to go to confession and hear mass before he could see me dance, all this I informed him before the weekend so I wouldn't be accused of false advertisement. And yet he went with it.
Now, I'm not saying my dancing is beautiful in any way, but it was still able to attract someone to a spend a meaningful weekend with God. It's just so funny to me that of all the talents I've been given by God, dancing was definitely NOT one of them and yet, I was able to use that non-talent to serve Him. How much more my actual talents can be used for the greater good.
