Gifted

Have you ever heard of the “gift of criticism”?  You have friends who swear up and down that they are specially gifted with eyes to see areas in a person, organization, strategy or idea that could improve.  They are always pointing out problems, mistakes, errors and sins.  Maybe you are that person.  You have discovered the best way to approach a topic or a situation and if someone doesn’t do it that very same way, you’re actually a little ticked.  Maybe you notice very quickly when your husband could have a better attitude towards the kids, or work a little harder, or watch TV a little less or smell a little better or send flowers more often.  And maybe you’re very verbal about it.  But hey, it’s a gift to be able to clearly see those areas in a person that need to change, right?

There is help for those of us blessed with this particular Gift over at Warrior Wives in Elizabeth’s post, The “Gift” of Criticism.
