Priceless

By Jeff Berryman

Jared, a lawyer, is visiting his brother Booker, a social worker. Though it is early morning, the two are already bickering. Jared is packed and dressed to leave for the airport, cutting his vacation short, which surprises Booker. After Jared leaves, their mother discusses their differences. Jared was born for success as a lawyer and Booker continues to measure himself against Jared. Momma expresses her appreciation for Booker's heart and his ability to help others. But Jared still compares his financial situation to Jared's. As a social worker, Booker continues to struggle to support his family. This is a sore spot for Booker who feels salt on his wound when Jared offers him financial help. Jo, his wife, encourages Booker and assures him that money is not the measure of a man's value. What he does for others, how he impacts lives through his work, how he touches hearts is seen by God as priceless. Jared returns, changing his mind about cutting his vacation short. After some playful moments between the two brothers, Jared asks to go to work with Booker and offer his clients legal services. The two brothers reconcile and the family moves forward.
