Unfair Judgement of the Good

Should the good be judged
for not having given enough?
Some will face humiliation or reprimand,
not by Christ Himself, but by folks who bluff!


There are many mways of giving,
it depends on willingness and feeling;
the most generous ones will give abundantly,
and those who aren't...will give little eventually.

It seems those who have the most give the least. But there are others who willingly share everything they have with those in need. My motto has always been, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Wish people could get this message from the Bible. Hope you'll consider writing some humor for my "Taxing Times" contest, Andrew. I've been dealing with some personal issues and been away from the Soup, but I'm trying to lift my spirits by reading humor. Love, Carolyn
