Today we hear a parable about people who have forgotten to whom their faithfulness should belong and have forgotten the gracious hand which blessed them with the gifts they needed to do the work they have been called to do.
How easy it is for us to forget that God is the one who has not only provided us with all that we need, but also with the chance to care for that which is God’s alone. The good news today my friends, is that even though we may at times forget about God, God never forgets about us, and never stops loving us. God tries until his dying day to help us remember what we are about, and even then God dies and rises again to new life so that we might have a new start.
