Non-Financial Stewardship

For those of you new to Free Money Finance, I post on The Bible and Money every Sunday. Here's why.

Recently the Christian Financial Alliance asked several bloggers the following question:

“Other than ‘time, talents, and treasures’, what is an area God has led you to be a better steward?”

Here was my response:

“With my health. It’s something that most people don’t think about as a stewardship responsibility, but to me it is. God gave me this body so that I could accomplish His purposes, and I can’t do that if it’s weak, tired, and run-down.”

FYI, you may also want to check the link above to see what other bloggers had to say on the issue.

What do you think of my response? What would you have said?

I agree with you FMF. For a long time now, I have considered my body a gift from God and something He will hold me responsible for. There will be a day when I give an account for my decisions and actions in regard to it.

Perhaps this just another form of financial stewardship, but my wife and I took in a man to live with us to prevent him from going homeless. That probably sounds scary or insane to many folks, but a lot of good people just need a little help, and I prefer charity over govt assistance.
