This month, I am beginning a new series called Pay it Forward.  We are going to reflect on what we have to be thankful for.  We are going to think about how God has blessed us and how God wants us to pass on these blessings to other people.  Today, we begin by looking at Jesus' Parable of the Talents and how Jesus is telling us not to bury our talents.  What is a better response?  What does God want you to do with what you have been given?
