Two Guys on a Log: A Cash Fish
I love reading to Gabe out of his Bible. The stories are shortened. The main points become much more poignant. This morning, the disciples had a dilemma. Taxes were due. Others assumed that this bunch of Followers must be all about dissing the Emperor since they were turning everything else upside down. But Jesus says (paraphrased from another account), "Give Ceasar what belongs to him, and to God what is His." And Jesus works another miracle by providing the needed coinage in the mouth of a fish! God provided even something as "worldly" as taxes. He cares. He provides. And nothing--no need--seems to be out of His concern for those who trust Him.
Simply giving what we have to offer from this life God has given us, trusting that others will see how splendid He is as we tell our stories.
