Let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him (Colossians 3:15-17). November Stewardship -ICSC November 2018 e-Bulletin A Month to Focus on Gratitude

November brings raking leaves, mid-term exams, plenty of football, and the beginning of our Christ- mas plans. But for those in the U.S., November’s highlight is that great national holiday, Thanksgiv- ing. It’s wonderful to have a day to call attention to the need for gratitude, but this holiday also re- minds the Christian steward that every day should include thanksgiving because gratitude is essen- tial to discipleship. Feeling a deep appreciation for the giftedness of our lives can’t be confined to one holiday when we spend a few minutes around a laden table remembering our many blessings. Nei- ther can gratitude become a rote response.

Gratitude is good for our spiritual lives in so many A Stewardship Moment ways. It reminds us of our neediness before the Lord, without whom we have nothing. The mere Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time daily act of focusing on our blessings makes us more mindful, more present to God’s mystery and Jesus points out to his disciples the poor widow gifts, and more aware of the needs of others who has just dropped two simple copper coins into around us. Gratitude is best achieved by daily, the temple treasury. He then delivers a teaching focused attention. So perhaps a good exercise for on stewardship.
