God bless the people that bless others
I thank God for help I’ve received
I’ve given some and received a lot
From people that care
From those who dare
To open their hearts
Their homes and resources
Who’ve shown me hospitality
Treated me with dignity
Forgiven my stupidity
Made light of my mistakes
Humbly I say thank you
God bless the people that bless others
With riches in Heaven and on Earth

Very sweet thought, Trisha. I hope my blessings for people go out in thousandfold. We all need blessings from a rich and powerful God, and He is willing to pour them out. The Bible says we receive not because we ask not. I don’t want to miss anything I can ask for and receive and that includes blessings for others. Blessings to you, Trisha, a thousandfold everyday…

For me, the people in this life who I aprpeciate the most have done the things you’ve said in this wonderful poem “…shown me hospitality, Treated me with dignity, Forgiven my stupidity, Made light of my mistakes…” These are the things needed to treat others as human, as equals and as brother sand sisters, but it’s always a blessing to see that in action or to be at the receiving/giving end. A lovely and heart-warming poem. Thanks xx
