A Great Store

I have enough.

I have collected, bit by bit, a great store. The harvest was large.

Along one fence line is wood stacked, ready for many seasons of winter.

I have more than enough.

❖

Why, Lord, do I keep collecting? Why do I hoard what I have? My neighbor needs food and heat.

Let me freely give what was so freely given to me through your grace, Lord.

Consider:

Why do I keep collecting?
