Don’t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye,
And don’t crave his delicacies:
7 For as he thinks about the cost, so he is.
“Eat and drink!” he says to you,
But his heart is not with you.
GUILTY! I have to confess that there have been a few times (okay, maybe more than a few) that I (or my wife & I) have been entertaining guests who are coffee drinkers and the thought has crossed my mind many times as to whether or not I should share my “precious” Starbuck’s coffee with them - especially if they are Slovaks and have never had the experience of a cup of Starbuck’s coffee.
It’s not that the coffee is too expensive to share with those with “lesser” coffee life-experiences, but that it is so hard for us to get Starbuck’s coffee here. The closest Starbuck’s is still almost 4 hours away and in another country!
Oh well, I guess I’m just as stingy as the next guy - it’s just a matter of finding out where our “stingy boundaries” lie, right?
Forgive me, Lord, for being stingy with my Starbuck’s coffee. I will share it - freely (ouch!) - with those with whom You bring into my path.
