“And then they will see ‘The Son <strong>of</strong> Man coming in<br />

the clouds’ with great power and glory…”<br />

(Mark 13:26)<br />

Some people think that we should give until it hurts.<br />

However, true stewards give until it feels right. Our<br />

giving feels right when we know that we can stand<br />

before God when He comes in His glory and say to<br />

Him, “Lord, I gave all that You asked me to give.”<br />

Council Award is quite an honor for us. We’re<br />

extremely proud <strong>of</strong> this accomplishment,”<br />
