But had they learned a lesson

From the widow,

Whose needs,

Would they have been

More focused on instead?

Their own needs?

Or the needs of others?

Others!

"Increase my faith,"

Is a prayer

We've often heard or said.

But when we learn a lesson

From the widow,

Whose needs,

Will we tend to be

More focused on instead?

Our own needs?

Or on the needs of others?

Others!

Because it's never been about

How much we have to have,

But rather,

How little we have to have,

To have something

In our heart or hand

To give away!

So knowing this,

Now how should we pray?

And now what should we say?

We should pray and say,

"Thank You Lord,

For the promise

I will always have,

At least a mustard seed's worth,

Of everything I need to have.

Now please help me find someone

Who needs these very things,

And teach me how to try

To give them all away."

And how do we,

"Give them all away"?

By simply seeking

To encourage or increase,

The very things we think

We have the very least of,

In the hearts and minds

Of others every day.

And how do we

"Give them all away"?

By saying something
