STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:      2 Cor. 12:10        
“For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities.”  Paul found contentment in Christ.  To be content means to accept what the Lord gives us at any given time as somehow being from the hand of the Father who wants to bless us.  Sometimes it’s hard to see how things like hardships, calamities, and insults will turn out for a blessing: but that is why Paul found this contentment in Christ and not in his own wisdom.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
