Stewardship Talks

Submitted by Rosalie Tornello
Over the years I have heard the word, but I am ashamed to admit that at that time that’s all it was, a word! I know that Stewards on a Cruise Ship took care of the details that were important to the comfort and safety of the Ship, but it never dawned on me that it could relate to me.
During the past year an emphasis has been made on Stewardship…our talents, time, treasure, etc, … and I looked up the word in the dictionary. I remembered the parable about the Steward of the Master and it suddenly hit me.
I began to think, and I made the connection….God created the world and everything in it, and he created us in his Image. God gave us Stewardship over his creations…. we were his managers. We were to ensure the safety, the growth and, the goodness he created. We were to manage God’s estates. He placed enormous faith in our ability and desire to do a good job for Him….to become good Stewards.
There are many facets to running an “estate”….there is the financial cost, there is the maintenance, the propagation, the building and rebuilding and all things necessary to keep it in good standing.
Stewardship starts at the top. Love for God and all his Creations. Love for God’s word and the duty to discipleship. Therefore, God’s voice which comes from the Church to us and from us to others, must always be respected, repeated and resounding and so we take care of our Church….we keep it healthy, we make sure it functions with our financial support and with the time we give to assist in its functions. We ask ourselves, do we do all we can? Do we do all we should…We are the only ones who can answer these questions.
This earth that God created and gave to us for safe keeping…are we doing all we can do to maintain this beautiful world God made or are we neglecting it in some ways? Will we leave a healthy earth to our children, our grandchildren and future generations? Only we can answer these questions.
The people, the animals, the fish and the birds, these too are part of our “heritage”….Do we concern ourselves with the poor, the sick, the needy, the unborn who are violently aborted, the cruelty that can and does occur between men and between their impact on those who share this world God made for us?
Do we care enough, do we extend our hands and our hearts enough? Only we can answer these questions.
God entrusted us to be his stewards….Have we done a good job in sharing our time, talent and treasure for the good of his Church? Can we do better? These are the questions only we can answer.
