When in church, a place to worship my Lord,
in between the praying & hearing a message unfold,
there is the collection of our tithes.
10% given back, all servants of God must do.
There are tears in submitting it, from who.
It is not due to the lack of spendable funds
that will be from paying this IOU ,
as I know God expects this of me, as our
stewardship of all, the Bible schools.
Regularly as a collection plate was filled,
an envelope,said "family" now that's stilled.
Not knowing if any notice, I turn my face,
as the eyes tear up then, although I know my
husband is with God, and in a better place.
For I miss my husband greatly here on Earth
every day, and that is why I cried.
When tithe is given, we are a family no more,
as I can not say that since he died.
These tears will pass when my soul is free
also, once with our beloved Lord, I can be.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to friends so kind
for showing love to us during this diffucult time to me and mine.
 God's people are the greatest, church is the best,
and whether a church member or a guest,
all are made welcome and soon get the feeling of being blest.
