Plunder-Proof



 God gives and gives and gives to man
In spite of what we earn
Sometimes it does us well to scan
What we give in return



Mankind for all our taste and touch
No matter how we live
Ought learn, no one can love too much
Or ever over-give

Though moderation is the key
To happiness and health
The more we love and give, ah we
Increase a hidden wealth

…where joy will overflow the trove
Of humble heart with praise
For how we give is how we love
The One who grants our days

 Proverbs 11:25
The generous man will be prosperous, And he who waters will himself be watered.


2 Corinthians 8:12
For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, 
not according to what he does not have.
