It has no quantifiable price...
It is not some tangible good which can be bought...
It is not an end...
It is how much you can allow God gift the world through you,
It is excelling in the little things of daily life,
Like carving a genuine smile on your face,
One which gives others permission to do the same,
It is the warmth in a simple handshake,
Warm enough to turn another's winter to summer,
The loving kiss on the cheek,
It is the listening ear,
It is the lending hand,
The lips which bless,
It is the joke,
It is remembering to sing 'happy birthday',
Say hello from the depths of your heart,
Checking on a stressed out fellow (wo)man,
Sharing the joys and the pain,
The loss and the gain,
It is the validation of our common humanity,
In our words and actions,
In our frailty and our strength,
It is prayerfully being the best you can possibly be,
Better every time,
So that when all is said and done,
What gets into the grave is fully spent for the Glory of God...
Fully spent, Fully spent!
