We live in a world of “no.”  No, I do not have time for that.  No, I do not want to buy that.  No, I do not want to give to that.  No, I will not participate in that.  We live in a world of “no” and we say “no” a lot!  Most of us know that there is also power in saying “yes.”  Yes, I want more compassion in the world.  Yes, I want more margin in my life.  Yes, I want to have a positive influence on the world.  Yes, I want to live a life filled with joy.  The Christian tradition does not need anything from you.  Neither God, Jesus, nor the Holy Spirit needs anything from you.  However, God has a deep desire for you and that is for you to live a full and abundant life.  A key element to experiencing this is the practice of generosity.  God’s deepest desire for you is the live generously in support of God’s work and will in this world.  During this year’s stewardship series, my prayer is that you will learn to say “yes” to generosity anticipating that God will use it to transform the world.- Rev. Dr. Jim Hoffman
