Colossians 3: 23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
My dad and grandpa both come to mind when I think about good stewards. I saw them throughout all of my childhood, tirelessly and endlessly work hard. They loved their land and treated it with the utmost care and respect. They both were conservationists who played a big role in their local soil and water board. They carefully planned the when and the what and the how as far as their weed control management, and soil erosion program goes. You could visually see the pride they had for their land in how well they kept it, striving for it’s absolute best potential.
Talk about passion!
I loved that they loved farming. It didn’t matter how much blood, sweat and tears it took- they would relentlessly do it over and over again each season, not to mention what else they had to sacrifice to make the American dream happen for themselves and their families, unquestionably they did it.
They did it for the next generation. They took what they had, and made it better. That alone, in my eyes, is being a good steward.
