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
