“Do our sheep know we are watching over them with love and
we will take action to help? In Matthew 25 we read: ‘Come, ye blessed of my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you. For I was an hungered, and ye gave
me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me
in: Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord when saw we thee an
hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a
stranger, and took thee in?’ Brothers and sisters, the key word is saw. The
righteous saw those in need because they were watching and noticing. We too can
be a watchful eye to aid and comfort, to celebrate and even dream. As we act,
we can be assured of the promise in Matthew: ‘Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me.’” – Bonnie H. Cordon
