Dear Pastor,

I know a man in North America. He left Jamaica at age 19 and he went to England. He left England when he was 25 years old and came to Canada. He is now 70 years old, sick and helpless. He has never sent a penny back to Jamaica. He can't go to see his family in Jamaica.

Now, he is married to a Jamaican woman who just arrived in Canada and he is hoping to come home to her family. He is hoping that they will take care of him in Jamaica.

Is that fair?

D.

Dear D.,

Sometimes when people are young, they fail to plan wisely for their future. Unfortunately, this man has fallen into that category. Although he has wasted his life, relatives will have compassion on him and help him.

Pastor
