I have had two days of waiting for others to come over, show up, call and/or attend a function here at the Blessing House. Nothing turned out as expected and so it feels like I "wasted" two days. What does that have to do with being a Steward? I questioned if I stewarded my time and planning well.
I wondered if the Master simply gave me some breathing space by canceling all the appointments which is cause to give thanks. I read that Jesus after riding into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday with all the celebration, simply went to the temple, looked around and went back to Bethany because it was late. That struck me as odd after so much drama. Maybe it was breathing space before the appointed week of Passover. Seemed a bit anti-climactic.
Here my weekend was all planned and nothing turned out the way I expected. My stewardship was spent in naps, waiting, not accomplishing much.
This reminds me that being a Steward is first of all "being" and not "doing" I am still not sure if being a Steward is a call or a choice or an action. Not everyone thinks of themselves intrinsically as stewards of the Master and yet, I have come to know myself first of all as a Steward. Not sure how that happened. But, my thinking and reflecting is always along those lines. Does anyone else think along these lines?
