Example: Every time I need someone to repair something in my home or build something for me, I call a person who has the gift of Artesian.  If we want a family photograph or painting, we call a person with the gift of Artesian.  If we need a tailor or hair cut, we call someone with the gift of Artesian.  Although I sew, I don't necessarily have the gift of Artesian.  I made my clothes and my children's clothes out of necessity.  It feels good to create something from a scrap of material but I'm not as good as a person who designs fashions - they have the gift of Artesian.  I take pictures but I get good ones because I have a really good camera.  A person who has the gift of artesian can do it better than I can and they use a Manual camera.  I cook a lot of really good things but I do not have the gift of Artesian.  I asked Jesus to help me cook the things Al likes to eat and he has given me a lot of recipes.  A Chief with the gift of Artesian has a natural knack for putting recipes together.  Yes the gift is from God but it came natural and easy to him.  I struggled until I asked God to help me become a good cook.
