The Smiling Eyes of God

A good Lenten reflection:

May I have a ride?
Will you spare a few bucks?
How will I get over her death?
All questions needing an active response
All gifts given by God
Gifts sent directly to you from God
Accept God’s gifts or He will ask another
And you will have lost God’s gift of giving

To those who have much
God will give more
To those who reject God’s requests
God will turn away
Seeking the cheerful giver

As God scans the earth will He see your light shining?
Or will He see the lump of you hiding under the covers -
listless, lifeless, dark -
Missing opportunities to give?
Missing opportunities to live?

Be alert
Be awake
Be aware
Of all the needs around you

The more you look
The more you see
The more you see
The more you do
The more you do
The more you shine
The more you shine
The more your light’s reflected
In the smiling eyes of God
