There's a lot of bamboo stories and parable but I like this one that teaches on solidarity, for the sharing of gifts and resources for life. The ability to spend and to be spent is essential for solidarity. Life does not flourish without sacrificial love. At a jubilee this lesson needs to be inculcated again. At a jubilee of the ecumenical movement, the lesson of life in abundance through sharing and solidarity is a worthy theme for reflection. Without this we shall not see the face of God.
Here's my take;
But somehow minsan nakakapagod din...draining...we all have our own concerns and sometimes or most of the time we all wanted to squeeze that monkey off our back...we all have our own misfortunes and trials in our lives, so an additional burden can press us flat faced until our strength'd finally settle to give up. So if for once we may receive a shrug instead of an open arms, think...that this person might just need an arms too...to be used as springboard of hope and a bit needed comfort. Can you offer yours too?! 'Coz a friend will(can) show his or her true colors in times of adversity.
