THE MONTH

BE A GOOD

STEWARD

God urges us to be

good stewards not

only of money but

also of our time and

gifts. Today, take time

to look around you

and see where he

would lead you to

serve him by helping

others in need!

LEARNING TO FLY

One evening a flock of purple martins was flying all around our yard, crying out excitedly. The adult birds were flying with a small baby bird in their midst! Some would fly above & in front of the baby urging the baby on, while others would fly behind & below. I soon realized I was witnessing a baby purple martin leaning to fly! As new Christians emerge from the darkness of unbelief into a new life of faith in the body of Christ, brothers & sisters in the faith can become like that flock of birds—lifting new Christians up, urging them on, & encouraging them in the faith. We can celebrate their faith journey with joy because we know these new Christians will experience a relationship with God & feel God’s limitless love. Ramona Barr (Texas)
