Sharing from our congregation

"There are times where I wonder
How can I give?
of myself
to my family
to my community
to my church
There are times I wonder
Am I giving enough?
Am I going that extra step?
Am I doing all that I can?
There are times I fear
Am I enough?
Is there enough?
Will it never be enough?
There are times I need
to understand
that we are enough
As everything we give
is worth its weight in gold
in love
in joy
in the ever present pursuit of
peace
We are enough to give
in the way of Christ
By the voice of God
And by the power of each other
Give anything you can
That’s all that can be asked
And be that small wonder!"
