TIME, TALENTS AND TREASURES

Thank you Lord for your gift of life,

  With Talents, Time and Treasures

Given from God for Earthly life,

  To practice with His measure.

Gifts to share with those in need,

    Inspiring others as well,

Sharing joys with family,

  That ring heart’s joyous bells.

Borrow three letters from the title above

  Use the second letter from each,

They spell AIR – confirming that

  Hearts and Ears can be used for speech.

This is your gift from Heaven’s trust

  So put them to use each day,

Flashing from those Heavenly spheres,

  Your help is on the way.

Using your life to help Mother Earth

  Our hearts will respond each day,

Her command, “Protect your ozone layer

   Then descendants here can stay.”

She’ll honour us as we honour God,

  With our Talents, Time and Treasures,

Satisfaction with each act and deed,

   Brings joys in generous measure.

  Our souls advise us what to do,

As we practice God’s Rule on Earth,

  “Do to others as you’d like done to you.”

Then you’ll feel and sense your worth.

  The gift of the sun urges plants to respond.

The mix needed for Earth’s care.

   Contentment and happiness restores each life

As we daily become aware.
