Ten thoughts about stewardship:

• Stewardship is about relationship with God, family, and faith community.
• We journey, as the Israelites journeyed, as a faith community.  Their desert was physical; ours is spiritual.
• Stewardship begins and ends in prayer
• Stewardship pertains to time, talent, treasure, trust, truth, and teachings
• We must always return to God our first fruits…from the very core of our being
• Stewardship is a thread that must consistently run though our lives, our families and our all our parish ministries. 
• The more we hold back in our relationship with God, the less we have
• As much a people complain that stewardship puts to much emphasis on money, the truth is that we are not truly converted until our wallets are converted
• People who are prayerful, active in their faith, and generous givers, are happy
• Stewardship plus evangelizations equals discipleship.  That’s our baptismal vow.
