Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Hebrews 13:16 (NIV)
As we enter the time for stewardship renewal, we turn our focus to three important “Gs” – God, gratefulness, and generosity. Have you ever considered the cyclical nature of those three words? We are God’s children. Like a loving parent, He generously blesses us and is grateful when we follow His directions. He wants us near Him.
For our part, when we turn our minds, hearts, and souls to God, we become more aware of the depth of His love and generosity. We are drawn through our gratefulness to follow His example and be generous with others.
In 2022, we are especially grateful for a return to “normalness” in our lives. Things we once took for granted, such as simply being together, have taken on special significance. Let us capture this moment in time to recommit ourselves to the directions given to the Hebrews – by doing good and sharing with others, because it pleases God. An excellent way to start is by completing and submitting your stewardship renewal for the coming year.
Thank you, in advance, for your generosity.
