Jul. 18, 2009 - How Do I Give?
As I read Mk 12:44 today, I was struck by the verse in such a different way than I have before. The little lady gave of all she had, she gave of what she NEEDED. The others gave of their excess. Now, I don't usually have a problem with giving money to others except for going outside of the bargain for my own family, but what struck me was this. Do I give of my time out of my excess (what's that?) or do I give of what I NEED? Am I willing to give up my time that I want for myself, for my things to do, for the sake of others? I'm afraid the honest answer is no. I feel so desperate most of the time for some quiet, for some time to accomplish the things I want to get done, for what I think needs to get done. I believe this will be a slow and painful death.
