Coming together as a team, let's take a moment to pause (10 secs), and let's begin with a quote from...
Psalm 32:8- "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will advise you with My eyes upon you."
And from...
General George Casey- "Clarity and simplicity are the antidotes to complexity and uncertainty."
These quotes show the value of Communication. Communication is a great way to live Stewardship, making it real in our lives today! So, as we reflect today, let's refresh our memories on the meaning of Stewardship, and take a closer look at how Communication brings it to life.
Stewardship
Stewardship means, Wise and just use of talents and resources in a collaborative manner.
We know there are many ways to live Stewardship; so let's focus on just one, Communication.
Communication
Communication means, The exchange of thoughts, ideas, information or signals from one person to another.
So, let's ask ourselves this question...
Am I able to speak so that people understand my instructions? Pause 20sec before moving on.
I'd like to invite us all to make Communication a reality in our lives today by...
Remaining simple and clear in my directions to others.

Did you know that a Manager of Patient Financial Services at CHRISTUS ST. Vincent, communicates clearly and calmly? She takes the time to understand a patient’s concerns with their bills. She also does her homework about their insurance plans so she can help advocate with the patient when talking to their health plan representative. She’s thorough in explaining the "why" and is compassionate in her understanding of their financial concerns.
Come Holy Spirit, I welcome you to be with me in all my conversations. Give me your simplicity, especially when I give directions to others. Help me to know when I am misunderstood, and I ask for your wisdom and grace to bring clarity in that moment. Amen.
