Stewardship
Definition
Stewardship is caring for what has been entrusted to you — body, time, household, people — as one who will give an account, not as an owner.
The lesson
A steward does not wreck the body to prove a point, and he does not neglect it because the day was loud. He does not spend the people in his house as resources for his image.
Today, tend one entrusted thing on purpose: sleep, food, a promise at home, money you were about to waste, or an hour you were about to scatter. Name whose it really is.
Care for one entrusted thing in a way you could explain later without embarrassment.
Neglect called freedom, or harsh control called responsibility.
