Two Coats
A man said to the crowd...
If you had two cars in your driveway,
would you
a) Either sell one and give the money
to the poor, or
b) Give the car to the poor?"
The crowd shouted, why yes! Of course
we would.
Again the man shouted, "And if
you had two houses, would you give one of them to the poor, as you cannot
possibly live in two houses at the same time???
Again the response from the crowd was
overwhelming,
"Yes" they cried.
The man shouted again, "If you
had two coats, would you..." and was interrupted by a man in the crowd,
who said,
"Hold on a minute, we ALL have
two coats." The man no longer continued.
Every day in life we are the first to
condemn others for having many things while there are people in the world who
have nothing.
"Why don't the celebs give some
of their money, etc., etc.?"
However, when it comes down to it and
we are being questioned, we are the first ones to say, "Hold on, why
us?"
Too often in life people don't think
before they speak they judge others before looking thoroughly through
themselves.
Next time...
Please think!
