Hello to all of you. Sorry for how this blog's been neglected for a while; it is summer and life is busy!
You will appreciate this writing, sent in by Ervina...very, very touching.
I WAS HUNGRY…
you gave me directions to the local food bank
and returned to your thanksgiving meal around a laden table.
I WAS THIRSTY…
you pointed me to the water fountain down the street
and bought your four dollar morning starbucks.
I WAS A STRANGER…
you closed your door, turned out the lights
and half-heartedly hoped i would stumble across a homeless shelter somewhere.
I WAS NAKED…
you donated bags of clothes to the goodwill
and talked about the indecency of my appearance.
I WAS SICK…
you paid your monthly health insurance bill
and told me to please leave before i contaminated the family.
I WAS IN PRISON…
you were relieved i was off the streets and away from your door
and talked quietly about how i must have done something to deserve it.
I WAS
hungry
thirsty
a stranger
nakedsick
and in prison.
AND YOU SAID
you’d pray for me.
“Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these…
you have done it unto Me.”
