Giving back these gifts to God and the community is the right thing to do. We are all stewards of these gifts which are to be shared to others. God gave us these gifts for a purpose. Let us act responsibly by taking good care of these gifts and by sharing them generously. You will be surprised by the rewards you will receive in return.
