FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY needed everything to care for his family. Many years went . by, and the brothers did not see each other, so involved were they with their separate An old Jewish story tells of a man who had two sons, and when the time came for this man to die, he called his sons together and told them that he was ready to disperse his land between them. To the older son he gave the harder land, because he would know how to work it. To the younger son he gave the bottom land, the best land, because he hadn’t been with the father as long and did not know how to farm as well. And then he told them to remember that they were his sons and brothers al- gether in heart even if they were separated in life and cir- cumstances. died, and the two sons took their land and began their lives.

They counted out twelve more and did the same as the night be- fore. Again the next morning, they found that they still had just as many sheaves as be- So once more they counted out twelve sheaves as a gift, but this last night there was a full moon, so the broth- ers met each other at the bor- der of their lands. When they realized what each other was doing, they fell into each other’s arms weep- ing, remembering their father and praising God, and they re- newed their promise not to forget each other in their hearts. Jewish tradition says that the spot where those brothers met was the spot where the elders of Israel chose to build the Temple in Jerusalem, for wherever brothers — or sisters, families, neighbors, or even nations — meet sincerely and respect- fully is holy ground and God is glorified. wv games ~ gPprizes Li rable 0 {| 0 decided to bring more the next 5 nila l Il Fes Stume night, so that night they . ghde : a fiva : Contegy “Thursday, October 25 ¢ 6-8pm Kings Mountain YMCA gym FREE Adwission with a donation of 2 canned food items 118 an Old-fas foned 7390864-839-1873 4 Arise To Featured Church of the Week: | 423 Cleveland Avenue 704-937-3010 Carolina Praise and Worship Center 201 N.
