Responsibility – Responding With Care and Appreciation

At the core of the word responsibility is the latin word which means to respond. When we appreciate the many gifts that we have in our lives, responsibility flows as a response of appreciation, care and love.  Appreciating the gifts that families, friends, teachers, coaches and other members of our community are giving us, encourages us to respond with care and gratitude. From this perspective of abundance, we take responsibility with a sense of enhancing the wellbeing of ourselves and others. We make choices out of care and love for people and the environment to add to the quality of life within our families, groups, places of learning, workplaces and communities.

God encourages us to take responsibility out of love and care in response to His love, care and generosity to us. We are encouraged to respond with love to use our gifts to care for people and the environment. We grow uplifted by the choices we make to improve lives with and for others. We breathe love, care and possibility as we take responsibility.
