Who Is Your Neighbor

Who Is Your Neighbor From San Francisco streets in 1984, there came a stranger, knocking on our door. Reuben was well known by all in the neighborhood, and from us, he wanted food. Reuben kept coming day after day; he was always hungry, with not much to say. Dirty, smelly, and tough to be around; tall, thin, and could use a few pounds. The Christmas Season was fast approaching, and everyone got busy, shopping and rushing. Reuben spent his Christmas alone and cold. We decided that year to play a special role. On Christmas day, Reuben sat with our family. We all ate and shared our gifts most happily. Cj09062015
