WHOSE EAT-A-SNACKS ARE THESE?

WHOSE EAT-A-SNACKS ARE THESE?-----
I remember a story I heard a friend tell once about buying a package of eat-a-snacks at the airport while waiting to board a plane. He laid the snack down and was reading a book. After some time passed he noticed that the lady next to him reached to the pack of crackers and took one then popped it into her mouth. A little surprised, he said nothing but reached and got a cracker himself. In a few minutes the stranger took another. As he was considering whether to confront the lady the call came to board the flight and she reached and picked up the pack, placed it in her purse, and walked away. Only upon standing up did he find that his package of crackers was on the other side of him, still untouched. All the while he thought someone else had been eating his crackers, he had been eating someone else’s. Isn’t that the way life is, when we think we are providers for others, we often come to realize we are being provided for.
“Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Matt 25:44
Have a blessed day, and visit us at Maple Hill Church, a church of Christ. Bob
