When we share our possessions, making them available to help meet the needs of our friends and our neighbors, we're not just being nice, we're living the Gospel. What we have, we use not only for ourselves, but for others. If we have more, we lend more, and we don't expect all of our favors to be repaid. It's just good to do. Our family has lent tools, and books, and dishes, and camping equipment, and cars, and tapes, and every kind of stuff.
Lending is a way of life.
Sometimes our things have been damaged, but really, it's very seldom. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go two miles with them. Give to whoever begs from you, and do not refuse whoever would borrow from you. . . That's in the Sermon on the Mount. A different kind of sharing or stewardship, is the sharing or stewardship of our talents .
