The Atlanta Braves are up 3 games to 2 in the World Series and they will have to win it in Houston tonight (or tomorrow night if needed for a best of seven). My entire family is Braves fans and I will be monitoring the game on social media because I don’t want to jinx them. Hopefully, they can win it all.
There is a time to grieve for yourself then there is a time to grieve for others who have suffered a loss. My priest lost his dad tragically on Friday in an auto accident. My heart is heavy for him, his family, and their friends. Sudden loss is never easy because you aren’t anticipating it. Life is fleeting and you got to cherish every moment you can with those you love. For some, this is easy while for others it’s a great challenge. My heart goes out to those who are grieving and if you think about it everyone is grieving something.
Stewardship for many is a religious sort of word that might involve giving money to ones place of worship. I think of it as something universal in how we take care of what we have and where we spend our time and treasure. It’s overseeing and protecting something worth preserving.
What we are given is valuable and sharing those gifts can make things better for everyone. Where your money goes is a reflection of what is in your heart. No matter if you believe what you have received comes from a divine place or the sweat of one’s labor being a good steward is a wise thing to do.
