gifts?

It's not Christmas yet but today I got hold of two gifts.

What I'm talking about is I found out what kind of spiritual gifts
God has blessed me with. The NIV Bible points out in Romans 12:6-8
that different gifts are given to people by God.

My classmates and I took a survey to see where we place in the
gifts of mercy, teaching, prophesy, giving, exhorting, serving, and
administration. I scored and my two highest scores came out at
exhortation and serving. My two lowest scores were in the gifts
of prophesy and administration. Exhortation is a confusing term
I'm puzzled by but the dictionary provides a simple defination of:
urge earnestly.

I'll already knew that my strengths were in serving but I will have
to find out more about how exhortation fits into ministry use.

Christmas arrives in two months but it was nice to find out the
contents of spiritual gifts today.
