Thought for Thursday February 25


Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
He is like a tree
planted near running water,
That yields its fruit in due season,
and whose leaves never fade.
Whatever he does, prospers.
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
 
Luke 16: 19 – 31  Jesus said to the Pharisees: “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.”
 
Could I dine sumptuously if I knew there was a poor man lying at my door?  Do I ever ignore the plight of others?
 
Action:  Donate to a Food Bank or a group that feeds the hungry.
