Reflection
“The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own...” (ACTS 4:32) All that we are and all that we have is a gift from God! Think of your family, your friends, your life, your talents and your money – these are all gifts from God! We aren’t really owners of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has blessed us with. We are called to be grateful and generous with all of our gifts for the benefit of others.
