Real generosity is generosity of the spirit. It is the feeling that you are blessed with enough of all good things, and you are happy to bless others with your overflow. “My cup runneth over” (Psalm 23:5). ~ Cohen, Alan. A Course in Miracles Made Easy (p. 156). Hay House. Kindle Edition.
How blessed do you feel?
I have to ask myself whether
I would be (could be/am)
willing to say to a stranger
when exchanging pleasantries,
“I’m blessed!” I expect
I’d feel ostentatious although
I never judge them in that way.
But am I willing to truthfully say
what I believe to be true.
All my life I’m been quizzed
when I answer a query, “Just fine!”
Hospitalized at age three,
I was “Just fine,” and it’s habitual enough
even I hear it now.
I do feel fortunate,
blessed with enough of all good things,
I’m happy to bless others with your overflow.
My cup certainly does overflow,
and I’ll give you ‘most anything
you might need,
just not verbiage to make me fear
you’ll laugh t me.
How blessed do you feel?
