We took our Room in the Inn guests to the Golden Corral on
Tuesday night which is why there was a dip in the profit margin of that store on Tuesday
night. As I've written before - when you live on the street and depend on others
for daily bread having a choice of what to eat is as much a gift as the food
itself. So those who sit on the curb in the heat of the day were invited to sit
up higher in an air conditioned dining room by people who perch in a pew on
Sunday. I know Jesus says when you give a banquet invite the poor, crippled,
lame and blind because they can’t repay but I beg to differ. I am richer for having
sat with someone who is poorer and the thanks I receive is in the wealth of the relationship
established. It’s not the reason to invite but trust me when you do you are repaid
in full and then some. That means the resurrection of the righteous happens in
the here and now whenever we make room at our table so that someone who has no
seat can sit down. Of course it doesn't happen unless when inviting
you call that someone else, “friend” and mean it.
