Galatians Five B

"Generosity," is a Fruit of the Spirit
be kind unto others in need;
they may need some money for a bit
of food or drinks; you won't much bleed.

Sometimes money isn't all they need
some may call at a time of brink;
give them freely, it's good indeed
not asking for the kitchen sink.

If you do your part without grumbling
the giving is more of an act of love;
to love thy neighbour, just give something
"in joy we give," as God first loved.

Even a blanket to a homeless man
the act of love will surely remain;
your soul in joy, your soul doth mend
to God we serve, to man a hand.

Maybe it's thy neighbour with a flat tyre
maybe it's a lady who just fell down;
the help you do takes away mire
pile up your deeds unto a mound.

So remember to read Galatians Five
practice generosity without a murmur;
till the day our self must die
meet God in Heaven, why, that's for sure!

Amen!

Galatians 5, verses 22-23 states:
v. 22: "In contrast, the Fruit of the Spirit is:
love, joy, peace, patience (long suffering),
kindness, generosity, faithfulness,"
v. 23: "gentleness,  self control.
Against such there is no law."

Amen!

if each and everyone of us took it to give, help, counsel, or even spend some time with the needy, that would serve well in the present "Harvest". yea! the labourers are few, and indeed much needs to be done to bring the Good News to one and all. till then, God bless!
