—Proverbs 3:27-35
by: Grace Crouch.
Recently, heading home on a hot day, we spotted an elderly couple walking. As we drove by, my heart went out to them. Swallowing my selfish desire to go straight home, we turned around and offered them a ride.
The stench from their unwashed bodies was overpowering, but we managed to keep up a conversation and learn a little about them. Once productive members of society, this nice couple could no longer drive or care for themselves properly.
Occasionally I see them around town, and I wonder if that one ride we gave them did more good for them or for me. We are not to withhold good from those to whom it is due when it is in our power to do it.
