In a small rural town in western Kentucky, population approximately 500, there lives a married couple of 62 years. Ross and Elizabeth Curtsinger, quitely and graciously through the years have embodied the meaning of christian stewardship. Without fanfare, both have served on parish committees, performed various ministries, chaired church picnics; fed the hungry by dedicated work with the local food pantry; clothed the naked through their support and particiapation in the St. Vincent DePaul Society, and shown compassion for the widowed, the poor and the sick through gifts of food, visits, cards, letters and prayers.
They do not leave their spirit of giving behind when they spend their winters in the south of Texas. There they join with other winter Texans in charity fundraisers, deliver food and clothing to families in Mexico and continue to keep tabs on the folks back home with Elizabeth's ministry of cards, letters and prayers. Together they have been as one in their life of ministy, sharing their time, talent and treasures with all ... in all ways. Their stewardship is as God intended, a constant lived out each day not just at Christmas or Thanksgiving. These special people are my parents. They never had a lot of earthly treasures, but were gifted with a rich and generous spirit and have worked hard to pay it forward.
