The ragamuffin gospel
Man in restaurant orders crabmeat salad; mistakenly, waitress brings shrimp salad; livid, angry man roars: "Where the hell's my crabmeat?"
Somehow, life owes him a crabmeat salad. He takes for granted not only the shrimp salad but so many other gifts - life, faith, family, friends, talents.
The deeper we grow in the spirit of Jesus Christ, the poorer we become - the more we realise that everything in life is a gift.
"The greatest honour we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love." - Julian of Norwich
