Stewardship Reflections

“Each day the people are to go out and gather their daily portion; thus will I test them, to see whether

they follow my instructions or not.”-EXODUS 16:4

When the Israelites gathered more than their daily portion of manna, the surplus became wormy and rotten. In the same way today, self-reliance, pride and ego leads to hoarding and excessive surplus of goods and money. Living a stewardship lifestyle helps us discern our “wants” from our “needs”. Living a gen-erous lifestyle reminds us that God will provide all that we need and that we have plenty to share.

By the Grace of GOD. That is an understatement! As you may remember early March you were praying for Kay Zelmore’s son, Gary, who was in the hospital and had a cata-strophic medical event occur. Thank you for the prayers. God truly delivered a miracle for Gary. It’s by the Grace of God he is alive. He almost died three (3) times. We humbly come to you to ask for help for the Zelmore family. Kay has been a parishioner of Our Lady of the Mount most of her adult life. OLM has been a foundation in her life and she is grateful for all in this community. She now finds herself needing support and help from this community for her son, Gary. You may know him as “Big G”, he drives a truck and helps his 95-year-old mother, Kay, into church in the wheel-chair, so she can sing with the choir, as she has done in this church for over 70 years. You may also have noticed a void because Gary is still not home. Gary is at day 128 in this ordeal. He is currently in a health care facility, and insurance has denied skilled services. The Zelmores are self-paying for some services now. Their plan is to get Gary home, but that requires modifying their existing home because to save his life, Gary lost his right leg. We encourage you to read Gary’s story in the link below. How can you help? There are a few ways: 1) DONATE and/or SHARE his story. Here’s the link to his story in the GoFundMe Campaign. https://www.gofundme.com/god-works-a-miracle-for-gary 2) Become his customer in his energy franchise business (which costs nothing). Contact his sister, Carol, at 973-714-1569. 3) Look at a business opportunity or make a referral for anyone looking to supplement their income and help other people save money on their electric bills with part-time effort (http://bigg.energy526.com). 4) Continue praying.

God Bless all.
