Acceptance Of Truth Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Just remembering something from a sermon given at our
church when I was a child.

All the rich people were invited to a great feast by
someone important, when the time came, the place was
empty - no one had come to his feast.

Becoming angry, this man told his servants to go out
into the town and invite anyone they found into his
home for the feast.

They were all so appreciative to be honored in such a
way, they fell to their knees and thanked him for in-
viting them, then all of them sat down to eat.

Looking around, this man had tears in his eyes, seeing
these people who didn't even know him, talking, joking,
laughing and making his life enjoyable.

Vowing from that day forward to always accept those
whom he had thought unworthy of his generosity before
and he never again invited those whom he thought were
his friends just because they were rich and learned.
