Don't you dare hide your love away.

In fact, dead wrong!

Hear then the parable 

This morning we heard that oddest of parables, the one in which the master goes on a journey; but first he calls his servants and entrusts his property to them: “to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability.” Then, he goes away. When he returns, he finds that the servant to whom he gave five talents has made five talents more and the servant to whom he gave two talents has made two talents more. The servant that received one talent still has it. The master is surprised, disappointed, angry! I’ve never quite figured out why. 

          The only conclusion I’ve been able to come to is that the master really doesn’t know the abilities of his servants. Management expects an improbable result; and when labor can’t meet the expectation, it must be its fault.

         

In her wisdom, the preacher turned to the epistle lesson for her message.
