HAPPY SABBATH + Gifts From God!

God gave Her a gift
She treasured it well
She dusted and polished it
And put it high on The Shelf.

God gave Him a gift
He treasured it well
He abused it
Misused it
It tripped him up ... and he fell.

God gave Me a gift
I treasured it well
I used it, and returned it
Polished brightly where it was worn
Out from my Mission
And accompanied with Gain
Attached with The Message:

"Dear Father, I thank You!

I accepted The Gift and

I was bold!

It gave me pleasure for sure

But I was generous!

I took my Gift out of doors and

I entertained and educated!

I comforted The Dear Ones, and I sang Praise!

I lifted up Your Name, Father

On the streets and in the glades, and

I told The Old Story even unto

Singing of New Birth and

I fed Little Children

Even though I oft' got cursed!

I thank You!

I bless You!

I treasured The Gift

And I just want to Praise You for

My work was Heaven Kissed!

I spoke to The Wanderer!

I comforted those in Despair!

I Blessed as I was Blessed, and now

Others hold Your Name Dear!

I have One Favor, Father

To ask You today

If I have been found Worthy

Please Multiply my Gift - I Promise I will Take Care."
