We are His people, the flock of the Lord Almighty God, I give thanks for all that I have and all that I am. Most of all, I give  thanks for the great gift of Your Son, Jesus.   I pray that through a personal relationship with the Risen Christ, my heart will  be open to continued conversion in my life.   I pray that I may be a good steward: that I will follow faithfully, serve joyfully,  give generously, live responsibly, and possess sensibly. In gratitude for the  abundant gifts You have so graciously given to me, I return to You the first  fruits of these gifts, through acts of service and by generously sharing all that  You have entrusted to me.   Heavenly Father, by Your Holy Spirit, help me to be a gift to others, in Your  name.   Amen
