“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not  or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).

Stewardship Corner -The first words of the Bible are “In the beginning God…”  That is how everything begins—with God.  God created all things, and He gives us all things.  All of life is a gift from God.  “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17).  We are the recipients of all of God’s gifts and blessings, and we are stewards of everything He entrusts to us.  Receiving lies at the heart of what it means to be human.  We are needy beings: dependent on God for our existence and all the good gifts of creation, and dependent on one another for community, relationship, sustenance, and so much more.  We are needy.  God created us that way.  We receive, and then we can give.  If we reject our dependence upon God, we are putting ourselves in God’s place.

Building Healthy Families: When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant, I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years. (Mark Twain) Truth be told, parents and their children get along much better when the adolescent years are over. Dr. James Dobson once said that the goal of parenting teenagers is simply to survive and live to tell about it. If you and your family are navigating the turbulent waters of adolescence, don’t give up. It will get better! Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Rejoice in the Lord

In Philippians 4:4, we read Paul’s words, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, “Rejoice.”  This is a very emphatic directive because “rejoice” is followed by “always” and it is repeated “again I say rejoice.”  If our lives are not expressing our joy, or if we’ve given up on happiness, we’re missing out on what God intends for us.  In the words of Charles Spurgeon, “God made human beings as He made His other creatures, to be happy…They are in their right element when they are happy.”  In his book Happiness, Rev. Randy Alcorn writes the following: “C. S. Lewis said, ‘It is a Christian duty…for everyone to be as happy as he can.’  Happiness is a privilege.  However, since God repeatedly calls upon to rejoice, delight and be glad in Him, we have both a privilege and an obligation to do so.”

Building Healthy Families: A recent CDC report on Alzheimer’s Disease noted that caregivers experience a significant level of burnout. It also noted that caregivers benefited from receiving education, respite care, and support. These lessen the burden of caregiving and improve the care received by their loved one. Anyone who has loved and cared for a family member suffering from this terrible disease would say Amen to that obvious conclusion. Who has God put in your world cares for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease? They likely won’t ask you for help…but help anyway! Take the initiative to do yard work, clean leaves out of the gutter, prepare food, or give them the gift of time away while you sit with their loved one. Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 Lutheran Family Service  www.LutheranFamilyService.org
