Everyday Stewardship / Tummies Full of Love
When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?” He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Two hundred days’ wages worth of food…

Thankful Thursday
So I am thinking that with all there is to be thankful for in this world, the whole trend towards Throwback Thursdays should focus more on being grateful for those past moments. A good steward is constantly grateful and giving thanks for all things. Above are #throwbackthursday pics of events…

Stewardship is Love
“The ‘commandment’ of love is only possible because it is more than a requirement. Love can be ‘commanded’ because it has first been given.” – Pope Benedict XVI, God Is Love–Deus Caritas Est: Encyclical Letter “If in my life I fail completely to heed others, solely out of a desire to be ‘devout’ and to perform…

What Are Days For?
Today I have travelled to Hull in East Yorkshire, some 150 miles North East of London, ready to work here tomorrow. It is a place I have never visited before – before arriving all I knew is that it had a fishing industry and when that declined in the 1970s, it became a place of…
