Will we share our spoon?

A Holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said,
"Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like."

The Lord led the holy man to two doors, he opened one of the doors and
the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table...

In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and
made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were
thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons
with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found
it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.

But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get
the spoons back into their mouths.

The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.

The Lord said, "You have seen Hell..." they went to the next room and
opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the
large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth
water.

The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the
people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The Holy man said,
I don't understand. "It is simple, said the Lord. "It requires but one skill."

You see, they have learned to feed each other. The greedy think only of themselves.

When Jesus died on the Cross he was thinking of You!

(I think this little illustration is LESS a picture of Heaven and Hell and MORE a picture
of us with our human thinking versus having the Holy Spirit in our lives giving us the
power and desire to feed our brothers and sisters.)
