God's Stewardship of Time: Stewardship in Families

Luther Seminary's Stewardship in the 21st Century initiative this week picks up a The Clergy Journal article penned by Marilyn Sharpe of The Youth & Family Institute, "God's Stewardship of Time." It looks to be a helpful series for our upcoming Connections series on living out our callings at home. Here's a taste:

"Ultimately, though, stewardship is all about time. Time is God's gift of life, measured not in units of minutes, hours, days, and years; but rather measured in opportunities to be present with one another, to love one another as God has first loved us, and to serve one another with time, talent, and treasure."

The careful stewardship of time in the home will provide opportunities to engage the four keys for nurturing faith:
1 - Caring Conversations
2 - Family Devotions
3 - Rituals and Traditions
4 - Family Service
