Thought Of The Day

Good morning. Happy Wednesday to everybody. I was gonna try to do this outside, but yesterday was very sunny and nice, and so I thought I would do today's live out there, but nope, it's not sunny and nice today. Back to cloudy. Okay, there we go. Well, today I want to talk to you guys about something that has been on my mind just for the past couple of days or so. And it's actually a question. And that question is, are you being a good steward of life? And the reason that this has come up for me kind of suddenly is because my life has suddenly become really busy.

I just feel like I have a lot less time now to do all the different things that I'm used to doing. And so I've been asking myself or just thinking about this idea of stewardship. Right. I always want to be a good stewardship steward of all areas of my life. So we're talking about my time, my health, my finances. Those are probably the three biggest areas that I'm most concerned about stewarding. Well. So with time in general, I want to just make sure that I'm being productive, that I'm making time for rest, that I'm definitely making quality time to spend with my family and just do the normal things that I enjoy doing.

Right. For me, something that is kind of like a. What do you call that? There's a word and I can't think of it when you're not willing to give it up or exchange it for something else. Hey, good morning, alec and junk food junkie. Good to see you guys. What is non negotiable is daily walks. I live for daily walks. Right. So as hectic and busy as my schedule has suddenly become, I'm like, I will not give that up. And so I've had to put plan ahead and just it be a little bit creative just on a few days, at least for these next few months.

But health is so important to me, and walking is part of that. Sleep is part of that. Eating well is part of that. And these are all things that I just feel really strongly about being a good steward in my life for my sake, for my family's sake, and for everybody who I show up every week and kind of preach these messages to. Right. But it's important for all of us that whatever we're blessed to have and whatever we're given, that we manage these things and care for these things properly and well, so that not only so that we're more fruitful, but just so we're.

Well, I don't know. I'm a person of faith, so I'm always, you know, on a mission to. To honor God with how I spend my time and how I care for my body and my health and how I care for my family and just anything that has been given to me and has put under my kind of my eyes and my supervision. I want to be responsible with all of those things. I know when we talk about finances, Luke ten or Luke 1610 says, whoever is responsible with, and this is paraphrasing with little, will be given much. So, we are all born to multiply and grow in all areas, and money is one of those things, right?

So I just want to be mindful and careful and considerate of how I'm spending my time, how I'm caring for my health and how I'm managing my money so that I can be fruitful and that I can be well and strong and just be my best in all of these things. So, is that Carrie? Because the white on white. Hi, Carrie. So, I know, you know, if you're used to me, you know, that my messages are very short and to the point, and today is no different. But that's just a thought that I've been having and maybe something to keep on your radar, on your mind.

Am I being a good steward in all areas so that you can continue to have these things that you have and be more fruitful with whatever you have been blessed to give? I've been watching a lot of documentaries and things on Netflix that have even kind of pressed this further for me. Like, just seeing so many people at disadvantages in their life and. And me not ever wanting to take anything that I have for granted to just by just using it well and being thoughtful about how I'm managing everything that I have.

So that's it, guys. Just let us all be good stewards together of everything we have and enjoy this life that we're given. All right, thanks, junk food junkie. Let's see. I found a need to prioritize more me time. Yes. In each day. Yep. I'm so big on that. And it's never, ever a selfish thing. I never, ever think that it's all about me. We take care of ourselves so that we can be our best, show up as our best, and care for others best. But we matter. We're important, and it all starts with us, so definitely important.

Hey, Joelle, I see you there. All right, guys, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, and I will see you again soon. Take care.
