Hi Sky,
All of the things you mentioned are talents!. Of course God gave them to you - otherwise you wouldn't be able to do them! Cooking is a very intricate and delicate skill, requiring a lot of preparation, mental ability of timing, and serving skills so that the food you prepare is pleasant to your family and/or guests that are eating!. Baking is the same!. I personally cannot bake at all!. I don't have the capacity!. I like to eat baked things, but to make them, I am all bumble-fingers!.!.!. lol!. Building and working with your hands is definitely a learned skill too!. Not everyone has this ability either!. You are able to create things!. All kinds of things!. How awesome! God has given you a lot of love and brought much opportunity to your life!. If you recognize these skills as gifts, you must be very happy!

God gave me the gift of giving and of loving with an exceptional heart!. What I mean by that is, I am capable of loving people who are not necessarily lovable!. It's really hard, but I can do it!. It takes effort every single day!. I also have this ability while trying to overcome a mental illness (nearly impossible) and I can still give to people and love people, even if they don't love or like me!. My own family doesn't like me!. My parents and I have been estranged for years!. I still talk to them if they contact me and I am always considerate of them, however, in my heart I know they don't like me!. I pray for them as much as possible!.

My talents!? Well!.!.!. I can sing, enjoy dance and Tai Chi!. I can write well!. I love to read!. I delight (in) my music too!. I adore the outdoors and enjoy walking in the woods, listening to nature!. It's incredible! I also revel (in) being at the seashore - it's a desirable and enjoyable place for me!. I like the sea where is meets the land!. I like all the creatures in the little pools and on the sand/rocks when the tide goes out!. I have been known to spend an entire day at the shore just exploring without a care in the world!. I recommend it to anyone who is sad, stressed or needs to get away from the 'rat race'!.
Thanks for your question, Sky!.

Personally i don't believe in God (fine if you do, though)!. But my talents are writing and learning languages!.

As for you saying 'i don't have a talent', talent is a more intricate thing than it first appears!. It's not as simple as, 'oh you're at this level in this pastime, so you're talented in it'!. No!. Practice and how you've been taught has a big effect!. Humans are born with hardly any instinct, so to get to a great level in anything, we need to be taught a lot, and to practice like mad!. So for a beginer (or inexperienced) person, just finding the thing easy, learning fast, is the natural ability for it!.

For example, there are people who have a lot of natural talent in say, maths - they can understand it quickly, work it out quickly ect!. But if they don't work at it, or if their elementary school didn't offer a very good education, they didn't have the opportunity to excel very far, in terms of average exam results!.
Then there might be someone who has less natural drive in math, but they got a great teacher, and they worked their socks off, revising everything!. That person gets great exam results!.

Sometimes, people are talented in an area, but they learn slowly, so the time wasn't avaliable for them to do well!.

Plus, talent is a widespread thing, including millions (literally) of things!. It can be anything from personality traits, parenting skills, money sense, hair styling even!.!.!. There is so much, every person has something!. And this world needs all of them, so there's no superior thing to another, even if it appears that way on the surface!.
It might look like a star basket ball player's talent is far better than the girl next door who can talk to anyone, but really, it isn't!. If everyone was a star player, this world would be useless! =DWww@QuestionHome@Com

My mind & SingingWww@QuestionHome@Com

I don't have any artistic or musical ability!. I can't tell a good story!. I'm not gifted with any kind of healing power or anything like that!. But there are two things I do that I think might fall under the category of "God given talent!."

I am psychic, sometimes a gift, sometimes a curse!. But I do have the ability to see the future--at least to a small degree!.

I am self-educated!. I graduated from high school, got married and had a baby within a year!. I am the one who elected not to go on to college and have nobody to blame but myself!. It has only been recently that I've discovered the need to !. !. !. well, help people!. After my 22 year marriage ended in 2005 I was a wreck and began going to a psychologist!. At first I couldn't understand why he did what he does--I thought "how depresssing, listening to the problems of other people all the time!. Yuck!." But after a year of therapy, when he discharged me, I realized what he had known all along: He helps people heal their minds!.

Then I discovered Y/A and I believe that most of the time on here I give good answers--and I feel that I am playing amateur psychologist!. Sure, we don't get paid very well, Level 1 or Level 7, the pay's the same!. But the satisfaction I derive when I know I've helped somebody with my knowledge, and that they've used my advice to assist them in making a decision, makes me feel good inside!.

Most of the advice I dispense is just simple common sense, but when we are emotionally involved in a problem we are sometimes incapable of thinking straight and having a third party give advice helps us see more clearly what we should do!.

Some of the people I've helped are a young boy whose friends kept telling him he was a "bastard" because his parents had never married!. I told him that they may have never married but that he was born out of their love and so, in my venocular, he is not a bastard, but a love child!.

I've helped two young girls, one 12 and one 13, who were pregnant and afraid to tell their parents!. I've given the advice to many, many women who were in emotional and verbal abuse relationships to get out--having been emotionally and verbally abused myself, I feel more than qualified to dispense that kind of information--then when I reread some of my answers I was able to then take my own advice and leave that abusive relationship!!!

So God given talents!? Psychic Deluxe and Amateur Psychologist! Www@QuestionHome@Com
