Stewardship



Stewardship

Take a moment, to Ponder this,
Life has many, unusual gifts;
Our earthly wealth, small or great,
Can seem to most, a right to take;
Our given gifts, of who we are,
To share with all, both near and far;
Some may say, it’s mine to keep,
Perhaps your not, among the meek;
We all have things, that bring us Joy,
But some are eager, to destroy;
It matters not, that some are blind,
To all on earth, will come a time;
To question to the Makers Hand,
Your time, your life, and where you Stand;
The Stewardship of life and gifts,
Are all in question how we did;
For most of us, with charitable hearts,
Who gave and humbly did impart;
The Lord will Embrace you Evermore,
For all he has, will be in store;
To all the meek and lowly,
Your mine, Eternally enjoying;

By: Mark A. England

About this poem

Understanding all that we have is given by a loving Heavenly Father, And our stewardship is in question how we managed his gifts and earthly materials he has given, no matter small or great!
