Sharing Blessings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though life will bring you ups and downs

Keep this thought in your mind,

You don’t need to pass on the bad.

Remember to be kind.

 

There is enough pain in the world,

And no cause to make more.

Share that which you hope to receive,

Forgive, heal, and restore.

 

Answer frustration with patience,

And wrath with a kind word.

Let compassion be what you share,

In grace, be undeterred.

 

Remember you’ve been forgiven,

Despite a life of sin,

So, take that same forgiving love

And pass it on again.

 

Let those same blessings you receive

Flourish within your heart,

Until the world around you blooms

From the love you impart.

 

Colossians 3: 12-13

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
