Stewardship Scripture Reflection
Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
 
“Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?”
 (Luke 17:18)

Most of us live “easy” lives. We have food, shelter, and clothing. We go on vacation every year and own a car or two. Most of us take this all for granted. Did you ever notice that people with the least amount of possessions are usually the most grateful? Shouldn’t this be the other way around? Take time every day and thank God for all He has given you.

The following is a headline taken from an article published in The Georgia Bulletin , page 7, October 3, 2019. A call to action: Use your gifts for Respect Life Month

The article is well worth the read and the following is an excerpt from the article: Let us begin this month with a prayer, “Lord, I give my heart and my gifts to you. I allow you to move my heart with compassion for those who suffer injustice. I place my gifts before you that you would use my gifts to serve those who count for nothing in the eyes of the world. Amen.”
