STEWARDSHIP ". he said, 'Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.' His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters I will give you great responsibilities." Matthew 25:20-21 The stewards in this parable are expected to invest their time, talents, and treasure according to their master's wishes. God expects a return on the gifts that have been given to us. This return is impossible without investing our energies for the benefit of others. Blessings and thanks to Donna Holmes who prayed for vocations last week.

MARRIAGE MOMENTS "When one finds a worthy wife [husband] their value is far beyond pearls [money]." (Proverbs 31:10) Although this scripture traditionally refers to wives, it works equally well for husbands. Pause for a moment and ponder the worth of your spouse. PARENTING POINTERS Even with natural talent, it takes work to develop it. Help your child identify one talent this week, and one way they can improve it. Often this includes the "P" word - Practice. (Mt 25: 14-30) All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another.
