To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. (1 Corinthians 12:7-11, ESV)
Hobbes: I want to learn to read, Mommy.
Mommy: I could teach you if you want.
Calvin: I already know how to read. I could read when I was only three years old!
Mommy (trying to temper the pride coming from the backseat of the van): That's right, Calvin. Being that good at reading is a gift that God gave you. He definitely gave you the gift of language.
Calvin: Yeah, and he gave Hobbes the gift of making pouty lips.
(Hobbes sticks his bottom lip out as far as possible and bats his long eyelashes.)
End Scene.
