Reading from The Gospel According Matthew 20:1-16 (NLT) ~Parable of the Vineyard Workers~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. Paying the last hires before the first hires. The greatest reward is being in God’s presence. Sympathizing with the first workers because of our worldly perspective of comparison, instead of celebrating the generosity we all get to take part in. When you are late to the party, you still get the full party experience. The free gift not earned by working harder or longer.
