Spotlight on Stewardship December 25, 2016 Stewardship Reflection “And the Word became flesh.”
John 1:14
Jesus is God’s ultimate gift of love to us. The countless
other blessings that God showers upon us are nothing
compared to the gift of His only Son. The only
appropriate way for us to respond to such generous
love is with our own generous love. When we dedicate
our lives to sharing all the gifts God has placed in our
hands, the peace of Christ truly will control our hearts
and we will know Christmas joy every day.
