REFLECTION
“Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the
lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability
to repay you." (Luke 14:13-14)
We have a difficult time with the concept of giving without expecting something in return.
Even when we give to charity we often want something in return – a raffle ticket, a dinner, a
chance to play golf or our name in print. Yet, as Christian stewards, we need to remember that
the true reward for our giving awaits us in heaven.
LEAVE A LEGACY: There are no small gifts in the eyes of our Lord. A bequest of any size
is an ultimate expression of stewardship and demonstrates your appreciation for the gifts you
have received.
