"And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" (Matthew 22:39)
When I say "share" what do you think of? Your "share" of the piece of cake your sibling just cut in two? Your "share" of the estate? Or maybe it is if YOU are going to "share" something. How do you share? When I get excited about something, wanting to share, I tend to talk faster. I have also been heard to say, in a loud clear voice, "Praise the LORD!!" I have even been heard to start singing the Doxology - "Praise God from whom all blessings flow...." The readings today are about loving and sharing. In Deuteronomy we are told Joshua "was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses laid his hands on him." (34:9) Moses "sharing" with Joshua. In 1 Thessalonians Paul is telling us to be "putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet." (5:8) And Jesus is reminding all of us of the Commandments the first "to love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." (Matthew 22:37) AND to "love our neighbor as yourself." (22:39) So.... How are you at sharing? Are you sharing how God has been working in your life? Are you sharing when you have been able to feel God's presence with you? Are you sharing the excitement? Who are you sharing with? Can they tell you are excited AND happy with what you are sharing?
