“Making All Things New”
Stewardship and New Year’s Resolutions
Stewardship is a commitment of mind and heart to the Lord; a way of life that needs constant renewal and transformation. This time of year we reflect on the changes we need to make in our lives and resolve to follow through on those changes. Perhaps those who seek to make resolutions to be better stewards might find inspiration in the following suggestions:
Stewardship of Prayer: Resolve to stengthen your relationship with the Lord. Notice how often you pray and what hinders you from praying. Commit to short, daily prayer times.
Stewardship of Family: Resolve to set aside more time to stay connected with your family. Eat dinner together, schedule regular dates with your spouse, plan family outings, and go to Mass together.
Stewardship of Health: Resolve to get those medical and dental checkups. Adopt healthier eating habits. Add exercise and other physical activity to your daily routine.
Stewardship of Possessions: Resolve to possess a little more “lightly” this year. Consider ways you can reduce the amount of all that stuff you own. Distinguish between needs and wants-particularly wants which are.
Stewardship of Parish Family: Resolve to serve your faith community in some way this year such as at liturgy, in the parish’s outreach or education and formation efforts.
Stewardship of Money: Resolve to render sacred our annual budget. Reprioritize your financial goals to ensure that the Lord comes first in your spending. Take positive steps to improve your financial health.
