Not Courting Attention

Brush pruned from sides of court. More work to follow.
    The Ghetto. That nickname describes a basketball court in my town. The conditions are deteriorating.
    Change is afoot. A man is donating money to refurbish the court. He prefers to remain anonymous.
    Donors like him inspire me. They personify selflessness.
    Not all donors remain in shadows. Some of them publicize their generosity. A few years ago, some billionaires in the USA pledged to give away much of their money. The announcement was made with fanfare.
    Jesus once said, “Be careful not to display your righteousness merely to be seen by people. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in Heaven.”
