The word “steward” comes from two ancient roots:
stig, or “path, hall, part of a house,” and
weard, or “guardian, person who watches over.” A steward is someone who protects a path, who watches over a house, who takes care of a treasure. The inspiring good news is that we were born to be “stewards” in this ancient sense. To protect and care for a path, a house, a treasure – and not just our individual home or church, but also the wider community we all share, love, and serve. God’s path, God’s house, the bright and beautiful temple of creation, full of God’s amazing creatures, great and small.
