Read: Lev 19:1-2, 11-18; Mt 25:31-46
Today's readings center around food and helping others. Many years ago I volunteered at the church I had belonged to to help out at the community suppers that were held every Saturday. These dinners were free and anyone who needed a meal or was just looking for fellowship were welcomed. Those who needed more, such as clothing or spiritual counsel, were also taken care of. And, as the people left, there was a table with bread and other baked goods that they could take home with them. The whole thing was centered around Matthew 25. It was a good feeling to know that we were helping others in our community.
Doing for others, giving of our time and our compassion should be the foremost things in the life of a Christian. Jesus calls us to be disciples of men (and women). To be there for others. To give what little we can spare. It makes such a difference. Be that light in a very dark world. Reach out. Help each other. Walk in your faith, don't just sit and read about it. Show others the love and compassion that Jesus showed to all.
God Bless. And remember to be a blessing to someone. ❤
