Inclement

Inclement

Of course, skies are not always clear
our Inclement Mother – we give a pass
for the flowers and crops seem to outweigh
the floods and drownings – besides, we choose
where we reside and pray – even God disadvantaged
often by our resident churches.  Sadly, Love Offerings
are not so different, from other commodities: 10% or
be damned! Silver or gold is OK, even man’s processed
paper stand-in just as good...got to admit, a hell of 
a price to pay, if faith and community are in the same
pocket. I have no measure outside my heart...which I
try to keep open.

"...... 10% or be damned! Silver or gold is OK!" Enjoyed your sarcastic statement. More than all such offerings, God looks into our heart. If we have a virtuous heart to offer, He will be damn pleased. Not gold nor money can please Him.

Yep, we try to buy our way into heaven with donations...and prayer -- when true love is the only way. Repeating incantations without deeper, abiding commitment of the heart will never work. How do I know there has not been True Commitment...2 thousand years latter and the world is still in a mess. Proof is in the pudding. Just my opinion. Thank you, Valsa. Blessings.

Yep. In the near future, digital currency will put it all out of our hands, choices made for us. So, it will not matter what we feel in our hearts. Except to God. To Him, it will always matter. Have a great day my friend.
