Over the years we have been on a quest—for a good cup of coffee.
There have been several stages of our quest.
1. Folgers coffee and Mr. Coffee maker
2. Cuban coffee and Mr. Coffee maker
3. Starbucks coffee and Mr. Coffee maker
4. Starbucks coffee and French press
5. Porto Rico coffee and French press
6. Porto Rico coffee and stove-top espresso maker
At each stage we have said to each other: This is good coffee!
People are drawn to goodness at every level of life—a good cup of coffee, a good dog, a good movie a person of good character, a good conversation with a good friend. Goodness is magnetic.

Have you ever noticed that the closer you get to Jesus the more you are drawn to Him? The more you know about Him the more you come to appreciate, love and become like Him.
It's just like how iron filings are drawn to a magnet below paper. The closer the filings get the more they are attracted to the magnet, but they are also attracted to each other because the closer a filing gets to the magnet the more like the magnet it becomes. (And so it is with people, the more like Jesus we become the more attractive we will become.)
Some filings can be seen to "resist" by clinging to their current surroundings (much like people cling to things around them), but they are still being drawn. If they "let go" they will come closer to the magnet (again, like people).

You must be good to all the things that God has put under your care.
God has put part of His creation under your dominion—some a lot, some little.
You are called to be good to your portion—care for it, improve it, look after it.
Understand what I’m talking about? Property—wealth, house, animals
Talents, opportunities, vocation, and even the people who are under your care.
Called to be a good steward.
You are to stoop down, as God does, and be good to your little part.
Means called to take what the Lord has given you and build a good life--
The “good life” not what Americans mean when say that—two cars, boat, stuff
Building a good, orderly, peaceful life.
Do that by making decisions based on God’s word, promptings of Holy Spirit.
A good life like that is attractive to people, and helpful to them.
