The story is told about a flight attendant who announced that there were only 40 dinner packs for the 140 passengers on board that evening flight. There was much grumbling and complaining, and even
threats of lawsuits. But then came the announcement that they can choose dinner, or unlimited alcoholic drinks during the flight. The grumbling died down, and 90 minutes into the flight, guess what? Five opted for dinner, and the rest were having the flight of their life!Today is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus, King of the Universe. In humility, we pledge our allegiance to Him, we who often have changed our decision to follow Him and be faithful to Him.
“You wasted it!” We hope we will not hear these words from Christ our King when we finally come face to face with Him. May we not be filled with so much sadness and regret then that we wasted our time, talents, and treasures on ourselves, and we forgot to serve our King and His people.Payback time! When, oh, when will we realize that all the time, talents, and treasures we have were not meant for us and for our keeping, but for the service of Christ our King?We have a choice in life.
