IN THE FOURTEENTH CHAPTER of Luke Jesus says: “When you put on a dinner, don’t invite friends, relatives, and rich neighbors, for they will return the invitation. Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Then at the resurrection of the Godly, God will reward you for inviting those who can’t repay you.”

Is that a form of sharing with those classed as the “have-nots”? In a recent article I’m afraid I stepped on some toes. It seems that in the approach to some of park areas one has to go over private property. Now, I do not advocate the abuse of another’s property. My contention is that the park commission should provide access to parks.

I had a fellow in my crew who was constantly praising his wife’s lovely singing voice. I asked him why she didn’t have some recordings made so that others could enjoy it. He replied that she thought it was a gift of God and she did not want to commercialize it. I told him that if God had bestowed such a gift on her she should share it. He seemed to take that under consideration; but I’ve never received a recording.

One time while involved in a wreck, there was no food available but a small can of beans that one fellow had brought as part of his lunch. Well, he opened that can of beans and shared it with a starving crew; just about one spoonful each. I never knew beans had such a delectable flavor. Christ said that giving is better than receiving. I hope he felt some of the joy I felt because of his generosity. I also hope that over there on “the other side” God will give him merits for his act of sharing. □
