Comeuppance

I actually had to look up this word to make sure that I had the meaning correct. Our youngest mexicano had found some female companions nearby here and decided that he didn't need to go out with his fellow mexicans and known americans. Every saturday or at least once a week, we are committed to take them to the store of their choice. This usually amounts to us taking them to hillsboro and walmart or eastgate/beechmont. Well anyways, last weekend young fellow decided that he was going to go with his lady friends and ditch or abandon the group of people he could trust. It went fine last weekend, but this weekend his comeuppance came about. Young fellow and his lady friend went out to hillsboro and did whatever it is they might do. At any rate he pissed her off and she left him at the pharmacy. Luckily for him, I was in hillsboro with the rest of the amigos. Unlucky for him, we were in the middle of eating and I thought he could just wait it out and think about it some more. He may now realize that he can't trust others the same way that he can trust the people who are responsible for him. We can't just get mad and leave him at a store 20 miles from his place to sleep that we give him. A woman that we don't know can say f off and leave him on his own. Here in a day or two I am going to give him a list of taxis and our address so if he gets brave again, he can pay a taxi and have it hit him where it hurts, in the wallet. He needs to think about what it is going to cost him the next time he is abandoned by someone that is not on his h2a contract.

I am also a bit conflicted by this. Is this a very christian attitude to convey? I feel bad that he got left and ended up where he did, but I really think it is a bit funny. He doesn't have the time to go with us on our committed day. He does have time to ask me to take him to the store after everyone else goes. He does have the money to buy phone cards and pop, and then ask me to loan him 50 dollars. I told him no, but all of a sudden he now has money for beer this week. I don't know if Jesus would feel the same way about the situation, but part of why we are here is to live and learn and make mistakes.
