Praise With Song

I heard the voice of Jesus say, Behold, I freely give

the living water; Thirsty one, stoop down,

and drink and live.

Preach the Gospel at all timesAnd when necessary, use words.

(Saint Francis of Assisi)

STEWARDSHIP FROM THIS WEEKS GOSPELWe are stewards of our relationships with others.

Offering encouragement is essential to the exercise of that stewardship. Saint Paul

understood that God worked throughhim just as God works through us to encourage

others. How often do we ask the Lord for encouragement? How often do we look for

opportunities to affirm, strengthen and encourage others in our daily lives?

"Lord, when your glory appears,

my joy will be full.”

Good stewards recognize the movement of the Spirit as a gift, and make efforts to cultivate this gift and grow in their faith. Take time this week to stop and look around you, be aware of God’s awe-inspiring creation, and give thanks for God’sloving care and concern for each of us.
