Donkey Monday - Lent 29

From the Nuremberg Chronicles 1493

  “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?”  
 “Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?”  Numbers 22:21

It's not good when we take for granted those good and faithful people (and donkeys) who do nothing wrong.  The way Pip treats Joe in Great Expectations is an example.  Balaam was quick to forget that his donkey was his best friend.  Sometimes we can forget the enormity and wonder of  being a friend of the one who was there at the beginning of time, and knows how the story continues, and how it will end.

PRAYER:  Every day I honour our commitment, and follow your guidance.
