S ICK and lonely and for the millions who are
S TARVING while we have a wide choice of food
I THANK GOD for all I possess ~ I share and I

S HARE with our Community and make a DIFFERENCE
It is more Blessed to GIVE than to RECEIVE ~ AMEN !

- Comment from author about the poem: It is very easy to find something NEGATIVE ~ to grumble about ~ and forget all the POSITIVE things to be HAPPY about. I know all our circumstances are different and some have shared with us their pain of DEPRESSION ~ LONELINESS and FEAR ! The JOY is that when we do share our PAIN ~ Members empathise with us ~ pray for us and support us. Not everybody enjoys the degree of Freedom of Speech & Travel which we enjoy in the UK & USA and other Countries. However we all have access to a COMPUTER and all the knowledge freely available on the internet ~ we all have the mental ability to write POETRY and comment on others POEMS ~ we all have somewhere to live ~ clothes to wear ~ food to eat and the majority of us have close Family & Friends. Much to be thankful for each day ~ so please COUNT YOU BLESSINGS and be surprised by JOY each MORNING ~ I know I do ! Every Blessing ~ for Every Day ~ Love & Prayers ~ BRIAN XOX

Everything we have is on loan from God . Even oor life . And someday he will come and collect his due and profits . Pray that we may use his blessings and multiply his wealth as it glorifies his name and trust he places on us . So give thanks for everything , use his blessing wisely that you glorify his name .
Thanks FRIEND ~ My life is gift from GOD ~ what I do (for Him) each day ~ is my gift back to Him ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN
Yes we should be prepared to make a difference and giving to others is one way of showing God's purpose for humans on this sad earth. Lovely sonnet Brian.
Thanks for your lovely comment FAY ~ pleased you liked it. Most of us ~ on MPS ~ have so so much and to spare ! We can be a Blessing in simple ways ~ giving to charity ~ (if not working) being a volunteer ~ buying an extra item in the COOP for the local food-bank etc. Thanks for caring ~ Yours BRIAN
Gimme you lottery winnings! heehee. Nope, Orchi, that's not the idea! A fine write.
Thanks STEVEN ~ It won't surprise you to know I have never done the Lottery ~ But If I did and If I won ~ I guess I would give it all away ! Yours BRIAN
One small thing every day - even just holding a door for someone - can make such a difference - just think if everyone did one small act of kindness every day what a difference it would make.
Thanks MICHAEL "If I can help somebody ~ as I pass long ~ then my living has not been in vain ~ AMEN" ~ thanks BRIAN
