What is stewardship?

Stewardship is an expression of gratitude and thankfulness for the blessings of life that
come from God. It was love shared and love returned. A life lived in
gratietudegratitude is a life lived in love.

Stewardship reduces our attahmentattachment to things marital. We learn that by

giving away something we "have really does not diminish us at all. Our needs continue
to be met by God.

Giving chips away at our belief in the concept of "mine" and "yours Giving helps us
better experience truth that we are indeed one in spirit.

Our willlingnesswillingness to give impacts our willingness to receive. No doubt all of

us know someone who would never give anything to someone else and, in turn would
never accept a gift. We must be willing to give in order to be open to receiving. And God
is giving to us every moment of the day. Our willingness to give enhances our ability to
accept God's gifts.

Is stewardship defined only by the money or materials we give/donate to the church or

to other people?
