Luke's parable of the Ten Coins echoes Matthew's Ten Talents, and except for the gruesome slaughter of those who opposed the king who distributed the coins, it bears the same message: Take whatever you have and make it double. Don't hold back or you'll be "cast out." This is a life-long challenge, for the tendency is to set limits or to procrastinate "for another time". It's almost as if we believe or hope that in time we'll forget what we've been asked to do and thus won't have to do it. It's natural to say "I've done my part, I can't or don't need to do any more." The lesson of the parable is that there is always more for God never sets limits on his generous and abundant giving. And, we're not taking just money here, but even the smallest gift we have from a joyful spirit, to the ability to help another realize how loveable he or she is. What can I do to multiply my "coins" today?
