I love helping new authors. It’s something that others did for me and I really appreciated what those writers did to help me learn. In fact, I started thinking about a lot of things that others taught me and what a blessing it has been. Then today when Jim was helping show someone research information and talking about history it dawned on me just what a blessing learning can be.
My grandmother taught me to embroider and I love having that small part of her. I think of her whenever I get a chance to stitch a delicate pattern. In Girl Scouts I was able to get my embroidery badge so fast that I helped other girls to learn and all thanks to Grandma.
My great-aunt and great-grandmother told me how it was important to learn to roll a round pie crust so that I could get a good husband. They showed me how to roll the crust and make it just so.
My mother taught me to play piano and I in turn showed my children. My son Erik is quite talented and makes up many of his own songs.
There are other things people have taught me, but the reason I brought this up was to encourage you in those things you’ve been taught.
Maybe you’re a really talented cook – pay it forward – teach someone else.
Good at teaching the Bible – start a study – pay it forward and teach another to teach and study the Word of God.
