Gift Giving / Stewardship -- A Quote from Roberta Porter

If I see a gift as mine alone to give, I might give hesitantly, even grudgingly, considering my options, then giving from a sense of ought. If I see the gift as God's who allows me to use it for a time, then the gift can flow more freely, as I join with others to be a channel for God's love and mercy.


- Roberta Porter, from her poem, "Grace in Giving"
