The Three Servant Parable

 This week we read about the parable of the three servants and we had to summarize about the story.

This is about three servants earning money from their master, who left to travel to rely on his servants to use the talents they were given. The first servant had 5 talents, the second servant had two, and the third servant only had one. Each of them had to have the ability to use their money. Two of the servants doubled the amount they were given, but the third servant buried his earnings into the ground and gave it back. The master was incensed, so the servant was punished severely.

Something that taught me is that we all have different gifts or talents that we develop, or learn about. Some talents can be seen by what people do with their physical bodies while others are seen in ones thinking capacities. All talents were given to us by God, so we should not waste time or be lazy with our talents, but serve others and God. For example, Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence is my strongest talent.
