We had my 7 year old niece spend the night last night. On the way to and from going shopping, she was telling me that she has secret superhero powers. She was diligent about keeping them secret, along with her secret identity and superhero suit. Apparently, she even has a particular hairdo that goes along with her alterego.
She said she couldn't tell me what her powers were, but if I could figure them out, she would tell me I was right. She said she can only talk about them with her "Superhero Family", which includes two of her sisters and one of her cousins (all of which also have superhero powers).
On the way home from the store, apparently, I figured a couple of her powers out. Of course, I can't post them because they're...well...secret. However, I will say that her powers would be considered by some to be just talents. (We, of course, know otherwise.)
This got me thinking. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all saw our talents as if they were superhero powers that we use to make the world a better, safer place? I mean, I guess that's really what they are. Heavenly Father has given us gifts that we can use to benefit ourselves and those we come in contact with. We might keep them secret so others don't minimize them or so we remain humble, but we're given these talents to use them. I thought it was pretty profound.
