Did you know that there are eight days in a week? Who added this 8 th day to the week? We know about Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But when did Someday sneak into the week? Very often it seems like the very most important things in life are reserved for this special day called "Someday."
Someday, I'll visit my sick friend..Someday I'll offer my singing voice to the church choir..Someday I will teach my faith to the children of my parish. We all know that Someday never comes, and many important things in our church never get done, because so many good people are waiting for that "8 th day of the week" to show up.
Now is the time to make your commitment to Christ. What gift of time and talent will you make to see that Christ's work is done on the SEVEN days of the week, instead of on Someday. Make Stewardship your way of life.
