When We Feast, to Share--June 10, 2014

Jesus, we are children of the promise,

which does not mean we can find answers

to everything that is happening under the sun;

but we do know that you have compassion for

all who are hungry and have nothing to eat;

and when we feast on the abundance

of your house and drink from the

rivers of your delight, we

must find a way to

share as you

shared.

Now you, my friends, are children of the promise, like Isaac.
