STEWARDSHIP
“….giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light.”     COLOSSIANS 1:12
God wants us to be happy! Instead of looking at the Ten Commandments as being restrictive and telling us what we can’t do, look at them as guides for living a joy-filled and peaceful life. Most of our problems arise when we put our own needs first or spend most of our time trying to acquire “things”. Try putting God first in all things instead. Ask Him how He wants you to use your gifts.
