Cademan's gift

Saint Caedmon

Today we had a youth group meeting at Oyster Bay. I introduced St. Caedmon as an illustration of how God gifts us with skills we sometimes don't recognize. Laura Binkley played a few songs and talked about song writing and trying to make a career out of her love of music. There weren't too many kids, but those that came had a good time. It was great to talk to them about the gifts that God has given them and how those gifts can bring glory to God.

Now [we] must honour the guardian of heaven,
the might of the architect, and his purpose,
the work of the father of glory
— as he, the eternal lord, established the beginning of wonders.
He, the holy creator,
first created heaven as a roof for the children of men.
