LET US BE GENEROUS OF SPIRIT

 

LET US BE GENEROUS OF SPIRIT

There are ALL TYPES of ways

To GIVE of ourselves

In this world

OUR time-our money-OUR PRAYERS-

Sometimes just our own-

GENEROUS SPIRIT

“MANY rich people

Put in LARGE sums

A poor WIDOW also came

And put in two SMALL COINS

Worth a few cents” Mark 12:41-42

We all have different TALENTS-

And different amounts-

To GIVE to this world

As long as we GIVE-

What we can-in WHATEVER WAY-

That we can

We are DOING our part

In today's readings=the ANGEL-Raphael-

Tells Tobit-

ALMSGIVING is better than

Prayer and fasting

And the POOR WIDOW-

GAVE more than any

Of the wealthy donors-because-

She gave her all

WE should always give

ALL we can-in all the ways

Of our lives

Let us be GENEROUS OF SPIRIT

In giving ALL that we can

“All day long-

He craves for more

But the RIGHTEOUS GIVE

Without sparing” Proverbs 21:26

“In EVERYTHING I did-

I showed you that

By this kind of hard work

We MUST HELP the weak

Remembering the words

The Lord Jesus himself said:

'It is MORE BLESSED to give

Than to receive'” Acts 20:35

“But since you EXCEL-

In everything-

In faith-in speech-

In knowledge-in complete earnestness

And in the LOVE-

We have KINDLED in you

SEE that you also excel-

In this GRACE OF GIVING” 2 Corinthians 8:7

Let us be GENEROUS-

IN SPIRIT-in every walk

Of our lives

Dear Lord-we PRAY-

That we be LESS calculating-

And more SPONTANEOUS in giving=

In whatever FORM that that is

And that we BE GENEROUS

“GOOD will come

To those who are GENEROUS

And lend freely

Who conduct their affairs

IN JUSTICE” Psalm 112:5

“A generous PERSON

Will prosper

Whoever REFRESHES others

WILL BE REFRESHED” Proverbs 11:25

Dear Lord we pray=HELP US

To be GENEROUS IN SPIRIT-

By GIVING all that we can

By giving a helping HAND-

WORDS of praise-

A listening ear-

Doing small FAVORS for others

And financial contributions-

WHEN WE CAN

We do THIS=in YOUR NAME O Lord-

And OFFER it up to you

IN Jesus' name we pray
