Thank you

In the name of Jesus, I would like to thank everyone that has prayed for me and has given me gifts out of kindness as I continue my journey at Western KU. Love Yasmeen

Several other of our college students have verbally expressed thanks for your prayers and the items in the Care Bags that we sent. Your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.

A GOOD STORY

Ch isia it is the sto of egga s ho tell othe egga s he e to i d ead.

—A o ous

“Stewards”share love with others through offering of time, talent, and treas-ure. What comes to mind when you hear the words “time, talent, and treasure” or “stewardship”? Do you think it’s all about money, or a dreaded obligation on an end-less list of tasks? Does it apply to others but not something you have time to “do?” Our lives are so overcrowded that living as a steward may feel like something to be postponed until “the kids are grown,” or “I’m retired,” or “when I get that promo-tion.”

Or, do you believe that embracing stew-ardship is a way of life, an opportunity to express your gratitude for God’s bless-ings? As disciples, we are called to:

receive God’s gifts gratefully, cherish and tend them responsibly, share them in justice and love, and return them with increase to the Lord;

share our gifts in proportion to the blessings e e ei e

Dear Lord, Today we honor our veterans, worthy men and women

who gave their best when they were called upon

to serve and protect their country. We pray that you will bless them, Lord,

for their unselfish service

in the continual struggle

to preserve our freedoms, our safety, and our country’s heritage, for all of us.

Bless them abundantly

for the hardships they faced, for the sacrifices they made

for their many different contributions

to America’s victories

over tyranny and oppression. We respect them, we thank them,

we honor them, we are proud of them, and we pray that you will watch over

these special people
