Little Did The Widow Know
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Little Did The Widow Know

Little did the widow know
When she went to the temple that day
That her heart would be disclosed
Up until this present day
And Lord Jesus would magnify
The gift as the gift above all
For she did not hold back one mite
No!!! But she gave her all...

How oftimes we register giving
From the plenty that we have
And end up diminishing the blessing
That the Lord would wish to give
It's more blessed to give then receive
What a great principle to employ
The Lord loveth a cheerful giver
So learn to give with joy

I will love to hear of the widow's blessing
Because of those two mites
And how her heart was doubly blessed
For God doeth all things right
In the secret place with the Lord most high
Is where the hungering soul will live
And from a heart overflowing with blessings
Comes the motivation to give...

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
