Stewardship is about
ministry, not money. Or, Stewardship isn't about the money. I have heard this
said many times and although I understand the statement to be true, it often
deflates those who are looking at a balance sheet that does not balance or a pile
of bills without sufficient funds or too little too late.
It is about reaching out to others and making a difference. Doing for
other human beings is part of our relationship with Christ and a plan for our
future.
Forgiving ourselves
and each other is also part of Stewardship. Funny though that forgiveness is part of Stewardship too. It
is another act of caring for ourselves and for each other. Breaking bread on
Sundays is forgiveness and an act to remind us of the greater forgiveness given
to us.
