Dear Kabaleyans, Fellow Pangasinenses,
In today’s gospel of Mark 12:43-44, a poor widow woman contributed a mere couple of cents for her stewardship to God’s Temple but she gave all she had. Not surplus wealth as others had contributed during a sabbath offertory at that time.
Truly, a meaningful and humble manifestation of man’s trust and love of God. Indeed, our best gift to God in return for His Creation of us under His Image and Likeness. An inherent grace that we all have to cherish , nurture, and share with our fellowmen or Kabaleyans as a witness to our faith in giving the best that we can give.
Stewardship is not just fundraisings but sharings of our respective God given talents and collectively offer them for the needs of our Kabaleyans.
Today, we witnessed a simulcast press release of a wonderful news article on PB-USA written by Dan Nino, Past President and Director of PB-USA’s Media Advisory Council. A well coordinated dissemination of information via the periodical publications of Asian Journal, Philippine News, Philippine Tribune, and Weekend Balita. Please get your copies at Philippine Store outlets close to you.
Simultaneously, we are witnessing the postings of information to PB-USA’s website – www.pbusa1.com, Facebook, Mailchimp Email system, & other social channels. Other than pangasinense members of the fourth estate (news correspondents) , we have a solid group of Next Gens now actively working on this platform.
Keep spreading the word – see you all at our General membership Meeting this Sunday, November 15. 1:00 P.M. at the Marriott Courtyard, Cypress, CA.
Please allow me now to borrow a Stewardship Prayer which can relate appropriately to our Foundation :
Quote
God my Creator, you made me all that I am and gave me all that I have.
Help me show my gratitude by using these gifts to serve others in your name.
Jesus my redeemer, you taught me the way to eternal life by your example of loving service to others.
Grant me the courage to respond to your call to Discipleship by following in your footsteps.
Holy Spirit of God be with me as I choose each day to put you first in my life.
Let me be a model of Christian Stewardship so others will come to know you through my actions.
I pray, dear Lord. that you open the minds and hearts of our general membership, that we may joyfully accept your challenge to be good stewards.
