Wednesday's Reading: Matthew 25

I'm terrible with money. I get it - I want to spend it. This parable of the talents (where the servants invest the masters money and it doubles) always makes me wonder which servant I would be. Somedays, digging a hole and putting some cash down there doesn't seem like a bad idea - if I'm focused on me, that is. The reality I need to be reminded of is that money (or gifts/talents) are not mine to hold on to - they are HIS to be GIVEN AWAY.

What have I done to:
- Feed the hungry?
- Quench the thirsty?
- Clothe the naked?
- Care for the sick?
- Visit those in prison?

If this is my final exam, or my Heaven's School grade card, I may be in deep trouble.
