Pay day for the workers in the vineyard brings some startling surprises in this week's gospel lesson. Those who worked all day get paid the usual daily wage.
And so do the ones who only worked one hour.
How do you hear this lesson, living in a union community? It's certainly not fair. But is it unjust? Who is God in this lesson for you, if the ones who work the least get paid the same as the ones who work the longest? What does that say to you about God's generosity and our own small-mindedness?
Have you ever gotten goodness you did not earn?
