The wondrous yet simple beauty of Resurrection's pumpkin patch on a fall afternoon reminds us that the Glory of the Lord is all around us if we have but eyes to see. Picture by Leslee Donovan.
Stewardship Thought
I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditures excludes them. C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), English author and scholar
