A MEANS=OF GLORIFYING GOD

 

A MEANS=OF GLORIFYING GOD

 

It is true=that

ALL WE ARE=all we have

BELONG to God

 

Our material goods=OUR LIFE

Even our HOPES AND DREAMS

Belong to God

EVERYTHING WE DO=

Everything we give of ourselves=is

A MEANS=OF GLORIFYING GOD

 

“……..this POOR WIDOW=put in MORE

That all the other contributors

To the treasury

 

For they have all contributed

From their SURPLUS WEALTH

But she=form her POVERTY

 

Has contributed=all she had

HER WHOLE LIVELIHOOD”                                                                                                      Mark 12:43-44

 

This SCRIPTURE READING=always makes me

Feel a LITTLE BETTER about myself

Because I don’t have

That much=TO MATERIALLY GIVE

 

I TREASURE=all of you guys

FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Who have helped me=over the years

YOU HAVE GLORIFIED GOD

By helping me

 

And I HOPE=I have

GLORIFIED GOD=by reaching out

To all of you

 

Through my PRAYERS=through

MY POEMS=and cards=and my phone calls

 

Just letting you know

THAT I CARE=about you all

It is=A MEANS=OF GLORIFYING GOD=I HOPE

 

“The heavens declare=

THE GLORY OF GOD=the skies proclaim

The work of his hands”                                                                                                                    Psalm 19:1

 

“Then will appear=the sign of

The Son of Man=in heaven

 

And then=all

The peoples of the earth=will mourn

When they see=the Son of Man coming

On the clouds of heaven”                                                                                                          Matthew 24:30

 

“THE WORD=became flesh

And made his dwelling=among us

 

We have seen=HIS GLORY

THE GLORY=of the one and ONLY SON

Who came from the Father

Full of grace and truth”                                                                                                         John 1:14

 

WHATEVER GIFTS we have

In this world=it is OUR RESPONSIBILITY

To help others=to give=what we can

It is=A MEANS=OF GLORIFYING GOD!

 

Dear Lord=we pray=help us

TO USE OUR GIFTS

 

As A MEANS OF GLORIFYING GOD

And sharing Christ’s love=with ALL OTHERS

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ALWAYS GENEROUS and sharing Holy Father God!
