He is like a tree by the waterside.
That thrusts its roots to the stream.
We have a choice as to our guide.
We can do something or we can dream.

There was a rich man who used to dress in purple.
And at his gate there lay a poor man called Lazarus.
Perhaps we too are too hierarchical.
We always think not of others but us.

I often wonder if I will end up like the rich man.
After all he did nothing wrong just nothing.
So what is our redemptive plan.
Ignoring , despising , or helping and understanding.

Then of course , all this we are constantly noting.
And then we do nothing.

…….

Then the rich man dies
And Lazarus goes heavenward
And where do we go

…….

See Jeremiah 17 : 5-10 and Luke 16 : 19-31
