God's Welfare Program

I wrote this (poem? proverb? witticism?) in 2006.  I don't know what the circumstances were at the time, maybe a political discussion on the welfare state.  It seems even more pertinent now.

GOD'S WELFARE PROGRAM

Show up to work when you are WELL.
Show up to work when you are FAIR.
It is the only FAIR program that turns out WELL.

Victor Mowery - September 1, 2006

II Thessalonians 3:10 - For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

As for me, I am neither WELL nor FAIR, but very POOR in health this week.  I pray to be better in time for special Christmas services this coming Sunday.
