For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that
the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh.
(2 Corinthians 4.11
NRSV)
A man going on a trip called three of his
servants together and entrusted to them certain sums of money. To
one he gave ten bags of gold (The New English Bible), to another
he gave five bags of gold, to a third he gave only one bag. You
know what happened. The servant with the five bags used his gold
to earn five bags more. The servant with two bags earned two bags
more. But the servant with only one bag hid that bag in the
ground. He only had the one bag when his master returned. And the
master was irate. Why?
Life is not to be hoarded. It is to be lived.
Blessings are not to be squirreled away. They are to be shared.
God of many blessings, help me to always be thankful and to share life's many blessings. Amen.
