MORSEL FOR MEDITATION

“Beware of overconcern for money, or position, or glory. Someday you will meet a man who cares for none of these things. Then you will know how poor you are.” Rudyard Kipling

“If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up.” J.M. Power

“Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.”

― Benjamin Franklin

Stewardship Today: "Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ" Colossians 3:23-24
