Who are the gleaners?


I have always been a guy that gets his money's worth. I used to eat at buffets because I made sure I ate more than I paid for, and then that practice caught up with me requiring a lot of exercise. I always look for the best price on the best stuff. If I can pay a dollar less I'll buy it from an e-tailer I have never done business with. I have been known to lick candy bar wrappers, and yogurt containers, and I have stuck my hand in a urinal to save change.

I have left little in my life for the gleaners. I have never seen money on the ground and thought, "I don't need that. I'll let someone else find it."

While the culture is different from the agricultural days of Leviticus I wonder what I could leave behind for the less fortunate, and who are the less fortunate for whom I am supposed to provide. I work for a company and my check is direct deposited. I don't produce anything, but maybe I should. Maybe I should find a way to produce something so I can leave some behind.

The question is what and for whom?
