It belongs to God. Mt. 21:33-34

Look around, this all belongs to God.

God created everything we see.

And he placed it all in our hands to care for.

For 40; 60: 70 yrs.

We are caretakers,

Not owners!

Whatever we build;

Whatever we Sow;

Whatever we reap;

Whatever we have;

In the end It all came from God and belongs to God.

He has however placed it in our hands to care for it.

And ever since Adam and Eve

humanity has made a mess of the Garden God entrusted to it

We have ravaged it with war.

Stripped it of everything we could.

Leaving a polluted mess.

Remember when Lake Erie caught fire?

When water catches fire that is pretty bad.

And when we abuse it;

Use it for our own purposes

Or claim it as our own and do not share it;

Then we are like the worthless tenants in the Gospel.

And God is going to come back one day

To see what we have done with the place.

What have we done with our families; our church; our town?

To those who have been given great responsibility

Great things will be expected.

To those who have been given less,

Less will be expected.

Each one of us has been given something

Great or small

How have we taken care of it?

All Things Franciscan
