STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:   Ephesians 4:8        
“Let the thief no long steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.”  God gives us honest work to do so that we can be a blessing to others.  That’s how so many of God’s blessings go: He gives to us so that we in turn can be a blessing.  He graciously calls us into the midst of His own work in the world.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
