St. Joseph Church ~ Bardstown KY September 24, 2017

Stewardship thru 9-17-17 $177,329

“So when the first came they thought they would receive more,

but each of them also got the usual wage. And on receiving it

they grumbled against the landowner…. ‘My friend, ‘he said, ‘I

am doing you no wrong…. Are you envious because I am

generous?” Matthew 20:9-15

As God’s servants, the gifts we receive from God are not a result of

the work we do, but a result of God’s generosity. Our stewardship

should mirror the generosity of the estate owner. Stewards give

without questioning what we will get in return.

Have you remembered St. Joseph Church in your will?

Is 55:6-9; Ps 145:2-3, 8-9, 17-18, 18a; Phil 1:20c-24, 27a; Mt 20:1-16a

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your

ways my ways, says the LORD. Isaiah 55:8

As a word person, I have always loved word games, especially

Scrabble. I was recently introduced to another game that is

similar but different.

I wasn’t too good at it until I realized what was holding me

back. In Scrabble, what you build has to remain the way that

you originally set it. But that is not so in this game. If you need

to, you can tear everything up and start from scratch. I still

forget that at times, and it is so freeing to realize, “I don’t have

to stay with this. I can start completely over.”

I can get set in my ways, habits and even sins. What a freeing

moment it is to realize that it doesn’t have to be this way. I can

start over. I will have to do some rearranging, but what a relief

it is to lift my heart up to God as I begin again in his ways,

letting go of the limits of my own.

Lord, may my thoguht align with your more every day

Amy Welborn, Living Faith, Terence Hegarty, Editor

Marriage Moment

Ways to turn your spouse off #1– be too busy. Romance can’t always fit neatly into a schedule. Do you have enough

open, flexible time in your married life to flirt, follow a whim, or postpone a less urgent priority?

Parenting Pointer

Respect Life Month. As a parent, I assume you speak respectfully to your children and they to you. Respecting life also

means valuing all human life– especially the lives of the weak, the vulnerable, the unborn, the poor, even those we

disagree with. With political speech becoming less civil, let your children hear you speak respectfully even of those you

disagree with.

Handy Hands Quotes and Comments

Mrs. -----You know, I love the work you all do when you come to my home each year, but what I love most is the laughter! As I sit in this chair, day after day, I miss the laughter. That’s the best gift! Mrs.---- said, “Oh my goodness, you got me new cushions and look at the flowers!” Our resident kept thanking us and wished he could repay us in some way. He told us how much he appreciated us coming. He told us that he loved each and every one of us! He is in a wheelchair and suffers a lot of pain and his wife takes care of him. He was in tears from our visit and had all of us in tears as well. He makes rosaries and gave each of us one. He was the sweetest man I have ever met. Please everyone, pray for him. A resident asked one of the teens to sing “Jesus Loves Me” to her. As the girl started singing, the resident sang with her. It was a beautiful moment. “It was neat to hear that I have similar favorite movies and music as Mrs. ----. It doesn’t matter your age, you can still have things in common.” One of the resident’s advice to the youth: “travel and enjoy life and laughter”. “We just can’t thank you enough…you all are the greatest!” Mr. ---- was not able to come out of his home while we worked but it felt so good to help out his family who takes care of him. I could really see how

much it meant to them and how it took a little worry away from them.
