Coming together as a team, let's take a moment to pause (10 secs), and let's begin with a quote from...
John 13:34-35 - "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
and from
Martin Luther King Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
These quotes show the value of Teamwork. Teamwork 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 Teamwork 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, Teamwork.
Teamwork
Living with accountability toward a shared purpose
So let's ask ourselves this question...
Do I notice an unjust use of resources?
I'd like to invite us all to make Teamwork a reality in our lives today by...
Speaking up when I notice an injustice.
Teamwork isn't new to CHRISTUS Health, in fact, we see this same type of Stewardship in our heritage...
At Christus Good Shepherd, when discussing how to save money, one associate is ready to speak up. She kindly remarks when she sees a misuse of materials, especially an excess of supplies at a bedside. She reminds us to not become wasteful. She wants to save as many supplies as possible and promotes good stewardship within her team. It is because of her diligence that we have the supplies we need for those who cannot afford them..
Heavenly Father, Help me stand up for the marginalized and speak for them when I see that their needs are not met. Everyone on my team wants to remember the poor and those without a voice. We all want to work together to serve them well to give everyone the best possible care. Amen.
